windows vista has now been released so if you can't buy it at staples then go to www.microsoft.com you do relize it is not free
You can get a copy of Vista by purchasing it, but I would not buy it even if it were free, for the following reasons:

1. Vista's Debut is fraught with problems. Printers, video cards, and sound cards, for example, often worked with XP, but wont work with Vista until Microsoft gets around to publishing Vista drivers for them in about two years or so.

2. Even if you could get all the drivers, there are 114,000 or more viruses unique to Windows that are just waiting to infect Windows Operating Systems, slowing them down and causing hundreds of other problems. AntiVirus software will be mandantory, further slowing down your computer.
