[ubuntu-uk] Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

[James Milligan]

I know you're all going to hate me lol, but I'm like Paul, I use Windows
Vista a lot for schoolwork etc, and I do a lot of heavy gaming.

I've got Home Premium at the moment, but would obviously like the upgrade!
It's just not feasible for me to have Ubuntu as a main operating system at
the moment, and depending on my A-Level choices, I may need Windows for
coding applications (I think it's using C# or C++)

And I know you're going to lobby me now saying I should, in turn, lobby my
teachers to teach open-source coding etc ;-)

I don't mind what you choose lol

Donate it to someone who is a developer on the Ubuntu project, so that
they could use it to improve the Ubuntu experience. I am thinking
people like Colin Watson or Evan Dandrea who work on the install and
migration tools or Agostino Rossi who works on wubi.

Cheers,
