Anyone know where you can still buy legit copies of Vista? I've got several clients with various systems and software that probably won't run with 7 or 8.

- Already__Taken 13y agoIf it works it vista there's really very few reasons it won't work in 7 and 8. Vista is what made all the breaking changes.
- dangrossman 13y agoWindows Vista has higher system requirements than Windows 7 or 8. If it has Vista drivers, it probably has 7/8 drivers too, they're largely the same. Windows 8 only requires 1GHz and 1GB RAM. Rumor is that Windows 8.2 may drop that to 512MB of RAM to widen the potential hardware base for low-end tablet makers.
- saganus 13y agoHow come it won't run on Win7 but it will on Vista? I was under the impression that they had the same kernel and other things that made them very similar.
- sentenza 13y agoDepends on how you value your time. If you have time to spare, buy crappy old PCs with Vista license keys on Ebay, "harvest" the license keys, install a nice shiny Ubuntu and re-sell them as Computer (No Windows) on Ebay again. Might even be that you'll get a better price for a computer without windows than for one with vista.
