Well I googled "vista ultimate cheap" and one of the sponsered links sent me here however, I have never heard of these people before, and therefore do not know if they are legitimate, has anyone had any buisness with them before?

Not sure, but, OEM software from ebuyer is like half their price so it's a bit of a no brainer.

On closer inspection.
No phone number and no address. Steer well clear. |

ok, I was thinking it was a little strange that there was no phone or address, and as for the OEM OS being cheaper, I want the retail so I can install the OS more than once.

You can install OEM more than once.

Reviews I have seen for Vista OEM say it only allows you to active the product once, and microsoft won't unlock it again.

So if your hard drive crashes you have to buy it again. That's nuts.
I'm sure someone told me the same about XP but I reactive XP OEM all the time. |

Yea, apparently miscrosoft have become stricter about Vista, because you could re-activate Xp many times (I got mine unlocked again before) but apparently they refuse to do that for Vista.

I find that hard to believe, I'm pretty sure they can tell when you first register what hardware you have.
Then they know if it is being used on a new machine or the same one. Like I said I have never heard of this or had a problem, and I reactivate windows every single day. But I guess if you are worried pay the price, scare tactics IMO. |
