Vista question

[63083]

My friend is letting me borrow his Vista DVD and I was wondering long I can use it until I have to buy a new CD key or a new DVD and license. Thanks.

It gives you 30 days before you have to activate it.

He said if I got a my own key then I could use it for a year. Thanks for the reply.

if you get your own key you can use it forever.

Vista really sucks....until you get service pack 1.

It managed to hog up 32 gigs of space with its lame system checkpoints, when I installed sp1 it stopped doing that. I got like 14 gigs back. But its vista ultimate so I would expect 18 gigs of usage.

Also quick question: Im currently running 46 processes (was 60) in vista as compared to like 25 in xp. i kno vista is much more "intense" but still, 50 something processes to me is a joke. Anyway to shut off like 20 - 25 unecessary ones. (everything in startup is disabled)?

It's just a home premium CD. My friend's computer says that it has 10GB used for Vista. I only have an 80GB Hard Drive but I will go RAID 0 sooner or later.

You go to college or does you parents work at a university or something?

Why do you ask?

I got my vista ultimate for $11 and xp pro for $7
