I got a copy from a friend. It will let you install for 30 days without a key code, The trouble is that it will not work with my peripherals. Modem, Network card, and sound card don't work. on mine. You are supposed to be able to download an update that fixes that but without the modem or Network I can't get it. So I'm back using XP until they get it straightened out. It looks pretty though.
What network card etc. do you have? maybe you need to download the drivers from their website with XP and burn yourself a driver cd. :)
