OK, just 2 things I want to say:

1) The only legit way to have this build is to have received it at WinHec.

2) The sort of people attending WinHec are there because they are supposed to understand the technologies and to get a head's-up on the new technologies.

It took me about 45 minutes from that point - installed fine first time, but I have to say I really don't like this beta. Things like internet explorer are just too chunky, and I appreciate its in beta, and probably aimed at 1600x1200 resolution, but just my opinion!

I was deliberately not rude.  Just curious as to why the original pster needs our help whn a WinHec attendee should have all the resources available to deal with issues like this.

It's quite clear he was not at WinHEC. Don't be so naive.

Oh come on now... I don't really care whether you were there or not. I was only trying to help you in my post above.

For me it took maybe 45 minutes or so... Felt like a long time anyway. :)

Why don't you do like it says? Check if it's crashed or something with the task manager. I think it should be easy enough to see on the CPU load if it's still working.

thank you. everyone keeps saying "only way you can have a legit copy is..."

stop complaining, and start helping :) the more you guys help, the more people have the same problem, and fix it. the less threads there will be, and the less you need to read about it.

BTW: im downloading longhorn too!

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
