    Nice... I'm going to build a new system in December to run Vista at its full potential. I can't wait for the DirectX10 Graphics Cards. They will run the aero desktop with multiple monitors with less drag on the CPU then the old ass legacy desktop without any cool features.

    I believe they come with home, and the coupons give the option of paying $100 more for Premium or w/e

    we don't know all we were told is that it applies to our computers. I think it applies for all because i saw this on the microsoft website as well

    I think it only applies to computers bought after a set date, thru registered partners (dell and such)

    Hahaha, yeah thats the ol' trophy :D This is my video game area. I've got all my consoles hooked up to that TV so I can just kick back on the futon and rock. This way my wife doesn't get pissed when I take over the living room and also prevents me from laying in bed and playing video games which is dangerous cause I'll never stop playing :D
