[madnuke]

Drivers make up 50% of it.

ISO size is 2478.3 MB DVD. Title is en_longhorn_beta1_dvd.iso.

Hmm... that should take 40 minutes or so, not too bad!

I bet they'll more than likely cram the maximum 4.7GB onto the final DVD though. :p

Someone said its all the debugging tools.

B2 should be slimmer.

So this beta 1 is fully working? Internet acces, msn messenger etc.

Msdn do you have to pay to get into that??

[mkrgoede]

and there is a bug tracker in the system that costs a lot of space..

I am very anctious to give it a try...

So this is out for MSDN subscribers but not beta testers? :blink:

?

Beta 2 also needs debugging.

I doubt that's what represents the bulk of the size.

I think it's mostly Avalon + Indigo SDK's and drivers increasing the size.

HEY DOODS, level with me, how do you transfer at 2000k a sec, oh i guess your on cable, gee im stupid!!! he he

[benplace]

I will be installing it tonight at home, still got 2 hours on the DL.

Tomorrow morning I'll be installing the x64 version, curious to see if that has more drivers then XP x64. Cant find drivers for my printer, PALM, scanner, anything.

Ok here is what I can say about Microsoft Windows Vista.

* Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 1's UI will not be as good was what you people will be expecting and its the fact its not completed yet. :sleep:

* Beta2 which will be released in late november 2005 will be the best Build and worth downloading which has complete almost 95% of OS build. May be most of us can wait for beta 2 and incase someone feels beta 1 s worth downloading, please do inform me ! :D

Thanks,

Dreamchaser

Already posted on Msdn downloading very slow now
