FREE Vista SP1 Support
Microsoft is offering free technical support for anyone installing Vista Service Pack 1 via email, chat and telephone. They are not advertising this support on the downloads or Vista pages, but here is a link.

Enjoy.
PS: I’m sorry you got suckered into buy that steaming pile of poo. It’s even worse if you were forced to buy it. Microsoft is already cranking away on Windows 7, their next operating system. (Link) So long as I can run all of my required applications like Visual Studio 2008, Office 2007, I will stick with XP. I am looking at installing Vista in a virtual PC context so I can learn some of its features/functionality, but I don’t want to run it as my primary OS. I downloaded Fedora 8 last week for use on my cluster.
