Actually the pirate shops here sell the trial Vista ultimate 64 bit. It's the actual Vista 64 bit only it will cease to function in about 4 weeks if I'm not mistaken or was that 3 months unless you key in your legal code.

Yea my mistake I didn't make a backup because I never cracked any of my CDs before because I always handled them with care or so I thought . . . This really sucks but I paid for the software and not for the cd so I will try to contact MS support here....but reading their System builder version end user support agreement(that support directly goes to manufacturer of the system since system builder version of Windows were supposed to only have come with the hardware itself). I don't think I want to spend my money on another vista now that 7 is coming up.
