www.ebuyer.com £77 inc next day delivery before 1am (that is the Home
Premium version).
I did not have to buy hardware with it, if that is against the rules, I
don;t know but that is down to the store not enforcing them.
The rules are you can only install it on that machine. If you change
computers you cannot move the Vista to a new machine. It is a risk but a
cheaper risk.
