http://www.gog.com is now selling DRM-free Jagged Alliance for $10. Deadly Games is also in the near future.
I'm waffling on the purchase decision myself. I've played a minimal-VO abandonware version from Home of The Underdogs and while it starts out cool; the awkwardness of the interface catches up with me fast. Hunting for the last guy is bad enough in JA2, being stuck in turn-based is kind of glacial. It's also a pain having to hunt down all the gear manually.

A quick search for a torrent will get you JA/JA Deadly Games for free, i don't think it's worth paying for these games. Even if you are a massive fan it takes a bit of imagination and love to play them. The merc chat back and relationships are probably what saves them from being unplayable. They both work fine on xp without Dos box, never tried them on Vista, out of curiosity i'll give it a try.

GOG's claim to fame is that their games are tweaked to work on modern OSs. So far IME that's been the case, though I didn't buy JA yet.
Edit: I should add that I'm running vista 64, possibly the least old-game compatible OS you can own.

While I agree in principle, in practice it's still pretty cheap, and good luck finding the game elsewhere.
Edit: legally.

I don't have a handheld console, being able to get a working JA on the DS would probably give me enough of a push to buy one, primitive gameplay notwithstanding.
