Anyone know where I can get the new Windows Vista Beta at?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/downloads/products/getthebeta/default.aspx

Something like this? I didn't read the whole page but I think that's what you're looking for.

Windows Vista Beta is only available through MSDN now.


Which means my mom should have a copy... hmm...

Dual boot here I come...!

[.jrauck]

Whats MSDN?

It says that its to late to recieve Windows Vista Beta, but you know can download the Microsoft Office 2007 Beta. Do I have to have a business to sign up for the Microsoft Office 2007, because it is asking me all these business questions?

Whats MSDN

Microsoft Developer's Network, unless i'm mistaken. Omega, your mom works for MS?

Hey guys, there's a public release, not just MSDN (Dave is correct on the meaning). I've been dual booting with it for about 2 weeks or so. A hint on install. The file is 3.2 Gb, which you'll download as an ISO, so you'll have to have a DVD burner. For me, the disks kept getting messed up for some reason, so I hooked up the drive I wanted to install it on as a slave, loaded the image via daemon tools, and pointed the install to said drive. The specs are a 1.0 gig proc or better, 512 Mb RAM (1 gig recommended), 40 gig or better HDD with 15 gigs free, and a 32 meg vid card.

Here's a link:

You will have to register with M$, and they will E-mail you a product key.

If anyone needs anything else, send me a PM.

The file is 3.2 Gb,



Unless you get the 4.1GB 64bit edition.

I signed up early for Vista...the nice part was that they send you a new key everytime you logged onto the site...I have 3...that's technically 30 computers i can load on...plus I sent out for the official DVDs...got the 64 and 32 versions...(I could be convinced to part with a copy and key...;) )

Who ever can tell me a joke that makes me fall off my chair and roll around on the ground like a 13 year old on crack (continuing the theme) can have my vista key. :p

As I dont want it as the download is to big.

(If this is against forum policy please let me know mods)
