Windows Vista

[sickofsoyo]

I was just wondering if anyone here got their hands on a copy of Windows Vista Beta 1. If any of you haven't heard about it (codename longhorn) click here.

You too can get a copy...if you are a subscriber...

I will prolly wait for RC2, so what I'm playing with is a little closer to the final. At least that is what I've done in the past.

Yea beta 2 is better, gives them time to work out any bugs, also you get to toy with IE7 and the new media player! I think the article said that they are going to be in beta 2, not 100% though

I installed the beta 1 of vista and it switched off my CPU fans everytime it loaded. Friend works in a computer shop and gets alot like that. Seems to mainly be AMD.

[sickofsoyo]

I have the RC1 now... havent installed it yet, havent even burned it, but I think the issues with CPU fan were fixed in Beta 2

Is it possible for anyone (like myself) to get a copy of Vista? Of course, I'm talking legally. Did you guys have to pay for it?

RC1 (release candidate 1) was only available for a few days a couple of months ago, to MSDN members. Vista (released) is available now for businesses with the licensing agreements. It will be available to all in about a month.

I've installed it, ran it for a couple of weeks, then removed it from my computer.

I'll wait for at least the first service pack, or a new version after the EU lawsuits are out of the way.

Just to many controls that give Microsoft and others power over my computer and computing

^^^^Uhhh...yeah, what PowerHungry said.
