Product key is the easy bit, installing it is the biggest problem

How do we get a key ? Have to wait for the next window (excuse pun) ?

Would like to test the software we develop here on Vista.

Its msdn.microsoft.com but its a paid for service that gives you access to most Microsft Software including product keys

Hello

I've been using this for a few days now, and I have to say it looks really nice and hasn't crashed yet.

The first thing I do when I install XP is change the theme back to "classic" windows, but the Vista one is really quite impressive.
