|  Free Windows Vista Ultimate
Free Windows Vista Ultimate
Check it out, a free copy of Vista Ultimate. Yes, there are strings attached but it may be worth it for a lot of you out there. Need a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate? Are you incredibly trusting of big corporations? Well I have the deal for you, with a new program through Microsoft called the Windows Feedback Program. For the small price of privacy and perhaps some dignity, you can let Microsoft watch your every move for 3 months, in return for some software of your choice.

I'm running Xp, but I have a 40 gig partition open. Is there any way to install Vista WITHOUT screwing up my Xp installation/programs?

Yes Dual boot. Insert the DVD, install to the 40GB partition and it wont touch your XP.

Somehow, buried in the EULA, I see them looking through your entire drive, not just the vista portion of it. This just sounds like a terrible idea alltogether. But if you want free stuff, I guess this could be a way to go...

I've searched every part of Microsoft's website on this, and I can't find anywhere that it says it's only for 3 months. I've read everything. I've read all of the Terms of Use. I don't see anywhere that it's only for 3 months. For all I know it could be an indefinite thing. I wouldn't want to sign my life away just for a copy of Vista Ultimate. I might be willing to sign 3 months away, though. If anyone can find the length of time, please let me know.

I was thinking maybe install this on my secondary drive and boot from there from time to time, just surf a few websites and after that, wipe it clean.
