Just make sure you have a good anti-spyware and anti-virus program installed on your computer. You never know who has what on their computer. More than likely you wouldnt be able to use Vista anyways, without a proper product key.

Don't bother. Just type "vista problems" in the Search for answers box above.
While you're waiting for MS to fix the Vista problems. Get UBUNTU (or XUBUNTU if your computer has less than 256MB of RAM).
It's a free, reliable and up to date operating system.
You can explore it from the "LIVE CD".
It's easy to install and use. You can dual boot it with other operating systems.
Once you have it installed, you gain access to thousands of free programs created by the open source community. There is excellent support - see the WIKI starter guide, and the Linux forums.
Always back up your data before making changes to your computer.

You answered your own question. It is not safe and don't do it, especially if you do not know Vista compatability of your hardware, which is a whole different problem.

i would say its to early to get away with that yet, as far as i know it hasent been cracked yet so cd keys etc will be required.
