Unfortunately not. There are no free versions of it.

theres always ways, like there are for XP
but theese are illegal and constitute software piracy as Vista is NOT free software, the onky time it was ever "free" was during the beta testing period but that was time limited and has since expired
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

using a downloaded OEM version and an old beta RC2 or RC1 key, vista ultimate will work for exactly one month. There is a workaround for it that extends this time period, but that would be in violation of the TOS

Yes you can. You can buy a new computer now, but make sure it has the Windows Vista Upgrade program. I belive HP doese this

I got it for free through MSDN-AA (through school), which is good, except I am not that impressed with it, which I am hoping that they fix some of these problems on M$'s next update.
