Installation CDs

[Guest]

Does anyone know where I can get Windows Vista CD (not DVDs). I also have a
tight budget.

The days of a Microsoft OS install fitting on a CD are over.

Even some Linux flavors are so big they are put on DVDs.

The DVD's, when they were available, cost around $10.00 US. And it was a
free download. Vista is not available on CD-ROM (unless someone broke up
the ISO) and besides, the program is closed to new subscribers.

You need to start saving your money right now
for the purchase of a DVD drive. You can get a
brand new NEC 3550A dual layer writer for about
$45 to $50 on the internet.

eWiz.Com,

has a Lite-On for $26.84.

TechNet Plus subscribers have the option of receiving programs on DVDs or
CDs - July's shipment included Vista Beta 2 - Is there a subscriber
receiving CDs who can enlighten the group?

Thanks for the correction.

However, what is the probability that they will be made available to the OP?

My guess is about 0%.
The OP should start saving $10 a month now and buy a DVD drive when Vista
is released early next year.
