Hmmm...have heard that some generous and kind person who goes by the name of Blud is giving out free copies of Vista.

Hey there buddy, how are you, hope you are doing fine...nowwww, where is my copy of Vista

I guess the only way to get him to give us Vista would be to praise him like hell. HEY...BLUD'S THE GREATEST, KINDEST, MOST GENEROUS SOUL IN THE WHOLE WORLD......
