dad got em somewhere off google for win98 when it first came out

(speech stuff)
and the 3D stuff.. look at beryl-project.org (linux) or apple...
so, my opinion on it is: it's new functions are a scam, Vista itself is a scam, and still has bugs in it, i'd wait for a SP1 to come out before buying it.
only good thing is (alledged) increase of performance, and 64bit support.
