I have a orig, real COA and key for all the systems I have Vista Ultimate on but what is running is a highly modded Vista Ultimate. WHY, because I cant get Vista to run ok on a 1.6gig ATOM micro system without being a slug, so I went to the net to get one that runs great.

This Vista takes all updates but 1 so far, boots fast, shuts down fast, runs fast on a 1.6gig ATOM.

If I knew how to put the key I have into this VISTA I would but I dont?

Is this a legal problem, I own a DVD, COA, KEY for each install of the FAST VISTA.

If Microsoft had a product like this I would buy it but it dont.

Why do I bring this up?

On the last update, Microsoft sent a message that something was different about this VISTA and wanted to fix it?

Microsoft should get paid for all installs of its product and I have a legal orig for all installs I have.

Like me I have many old systems I will not toss, so if a Vista can be found that works, why not?

If you indeed have a legit install there, you can easily change your CD key. If you right-click on Computer and click Properties, at the bottom should be a link/button to change the CD Key. This is how I activate Server 2008. But honestly, if I were modding Windows that much, I wouldn't be installing any old update it wanted because it may likely undo those changes.

Thanks, I found that spot and put in the Key codes from legal vista.

A small genuine box was sitting at that spot already.

The section that rates the system gave it a 3.1 with the Graphics, intel 945,

being the lowest. I am very happy with the mods done for speed, a 1.6gig

micro system flies with Vista Ultimate.

Moved on to one of my WIN 7 rc systems. Its only rated at 3.5 with the graphics,

intel G33, being the lowest
