windows vista can be installed on multiple comps correct?
Hey guys I was just curious a buddy of mine has a upgrade copy of Windows Vista and I was wanting to jack it from him and install it on my computer at home. However I didn't want to do it if when I activate it on mine and stops him from doing it with his.

You are correct in that it will prevent whomever uses it second from activating their copy. Want Vista? Go buy a copy like the rest of us.
You actually bought Vista?
I was planing on it, but after using it for a couple of days on a laptop I bought for a friend, I decided to let it mature (SP3 maybe?) until I shell out something.
I'm disappointed with it. XP works much better for me right now.

When I first saw the commercial, I was wondering what the heck they were talking about. Then I was at a friends house and saw Vista and said "HOLY SHIT!!! It is for real!"

Commuting isn’t sexy. In fact, I don’t think commuting even qualifies as cool in most people’s book. Which is kind of odd when you consider just how much dedication is required to slog your ass to work day in and out—dodging errant SUVs and potholes, only to arrive at the office slathered in a thick mucous-y slop. That, in my book, is pretty damn hardcore..

Yes, but I'm in a corporate environment so I need to have my staff run all new systems and learn to support them before I start buying it for my environment. I virtually never buy OS's directly, I just buy a PC and it comes with what it comes with and thats what gets used until the next time that PC is replaced. Makes license tracking alot simpler for me. A new OS like this is an unusual occurrence, happens every few years though so i go out and pick up a few copies for my guys to bang on in a virtual PC or multi-boot configuration so they can still use XPsp2 to support our users if Vista can't do what needs doing. Its a foregone conclusion that eventually we'll be buying PC's with Vista on it...probably by the end of the 2nd or 3rd quarter of this year...might as well find out on my computer what works and what doesn't.

lol,,let me know how it goes. I'm using Edgy and wondering if it's worth it to upgrade.
Network manager is much less buggy and all the features for my laptop (IBM T60) worked right off the bat. It's a newer version of gnome and Xorg too. Gnome always gets pretty nifty features and performance boosts with each release, so I'd say that is worth the upgrade considering how it easy it is.
I will also say that Edgy had older versions of the ATI drivers that didn't support my X1400 very well, so I just installed Feisty of the bat rather then dealing w/ installing newer ATI drivers on Edgy (while it was still pre-release).

For those who don't like Vista, here's a little known, little used fact. If you buy a computer with Vista already installed, and you decide not to use it, as long as you never start it all the way up or register it before loading your own OS, you can contact the manufacturer of the computer and get a refund for the cost of the pre-installed software.
I did this once with an HP computer. It came with XP Home and I have XP Pro. I never booted up into XP Home, so I contacted HP to let them know that I will not be using the software they installed, and they sent me a check for $50. Odd thing is, they never asked for their discs back.
