Okay, I installed Vista Ultimate last night. Yahooo!!! The copy I have allows you to select any version you want, including Ultimate!!! I entered the CD Key at the time of install and everything went great…until the reboot. After the OS was installed, I enter my PW for my admin account and it is asking for me to re-enter the cd key. The cd key is the same one that has been floating around on the net and can be found at [astalavista.com](http://astalavista.com). I have internet access but cannot access my hard drives nor desktop. I think MS shut down that key because others have been usuing it. Anyone have any ideas? LOL…and dont tell me to go buy a Legit copy…good thing I have my laptop in the mean time. MS has disabled the desktop so patches may not be applied to bootleg copies. Looks like I may be doing a clean install of XP tonight:meh:

lol yeah, that key you used probably got thrown around like a $2 whore
Honestly, for the time being, you either have to deal with buying it… not installing it with a key (you get 30 days to activate it until you get a “good” one) or put up with XP. I haven’t seen any cracks yet that seem worthwhile (most use files from the beta release)

Will it allow me to install the OS without a key? Hmmm…I was prompted for a key so I figured one had to be used…I can reinstall it today and give that a shot i guess…🤣

Oh Vista… I remember the goold old days back in ought-one when I first installed it. Only it was called Longhorn Alpha-3683 or something like that. Back then it was basically XP with a cool theme and an instability patch…
EDIT: I just googled 3683 and it must have been ought-two. I think that was the first alpha I installed…

All of the vista CD’s/DVD’s will contain all the versions… it’s dependant upon the cdkey which version it will install, not the cd 🙂

It is 32-bit but you have the option to upgrade from XP and keep your existing files, and it also gives you the option for a clean install.

You pay for the key/liscense, not the CD. You can use the same CD to install 5000 copies if you want, but you’ll need to buy another 4999 keys.
