Same for me. However, the next computer I get will probably be before that, so it will probably come with Vista.

The MsdnAA at my uni actually only covers the Enterprise edition of Win2k3 and WinXP Pro. And I dont even need shell out an extra cent.

Guess who is placing a request for Vista when uni resumes next year? :P They have an online ordering system which emails your student email account when the thing is avaliable complete with reminder notices of when you need to return the media you borrow.

That was the stupidest thing I've seen. Great way of confusing people.
