I know you can copy XP boot up disks that install it on your computer, Can you do this with vista?

Nice cheap way of getting vista i reckon?

The bios emulation trick is the latest one, I would call that a workaround but that would depend on what you defined a crack as, in that case they would be cracks yes, vista hasn't actually been cracked though.
