1. I know you were looking for a discount and all... but I hate to tell you this...
I'm betting it didn't actually 'fall off the back of the truck'. That's just a euphamism.

Just sayin'. :P

4. My Vista64 is cracked
I own a license, but am forbidden to retrieve it as I bought it from them online, copied it to a file on a drive which then went bad and the 'window' to retrieve the product key is 'closed'

fuck em, this works fine

5. If your version of Windows is NOT a licensed MicroSoft product....
It might actually work!
