i wouldnt touch vista with Nero.

i installed nero 7 and decided i didnt use it so uninstalled it, it deleted some boot up files with the install and windows wouldnt load. tried to repair with vista cd and it wouldnt, ended up doing full format, repartition and vista install

XP64.

Only causes a problem on the rare occasion you get lazy goddamn programmers (i.e. on Doom 3) who don't allow the Install Shield to recognise XP64.

Apart from that, it's the daddy. More server-based than PC and it runs 99% of the games I throw at it, fine.

I'll be joining the Vista tribe at some point in the future, but I've absolutely no need (or desire to) at this moment in time.

I have no need to, but I have a free upgrade that I really wanna use!

I made a dvd copy of my uncles ultimate edition. He bought it through his business or something so the cdkey they get is not specific to only one pc or somthing.. no need to crack, 100% legal copy and 100% free

100% not legal! (hint being you copied a dvd) and it will be registered to his company or himself.

What i meant is 100% working version... and afaik its the key thats important, not the DVD you got it from... hence why windows never has copy protection of any sort.

well i had to go to work yesterday. because of the rain my boss' roof fell in in his kitchen haa, so i had to do a 11 hour shift. wasnt bad though. i was so board because it was so quiet i even managed to find the time to stop young people (lol chavs) nicking JD. Ive worked there too long not to be able to reconise what the chav is going to do when the chav walks in.
