well it seems to work as a legit code, think it might have been a universal licence code he got from some place. He spends most of his life on the web downloading codes and hacks like the one that makes office 30 day trial a full version

windows vista ultimate is (only) about £130  I was really suprised when I looked yesterday...

but as Graeme says, until I rebuild my PC in about another 2 years I will not be using Vista for that exact reason.
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...
