I seem to remember that with XP you could legitimately buy the upgrade version if you owned OS X. Is this still true (if it ever was) with Vista, as i know i will have to use Vista and would like to get it as cheap as possible.

call microsft, see if they have this kind of service, altho I doubt it, it sounds a reasonable marketing method.

Going from OS X to Vista wouldn't really be an upgrade, would it?

i think op was talking about if u own a osx and a winxp, winxp can be upgrade to vista for free. oh maybe im confused.

If you own a Mac and a PC running XP that you recently bought with a free Vista upgrade coupon, then yes. Of course, the fact you have a Mac is irrelevant in that case. ;)
