You are correct sir. I'm at work right now so it's super-fast. I have 2 minutes left. I can't believe I just got 2.5 Gigs in under 30 minutes. Fastest I've ever downloaded in my life!

When beta2 comes out will anyone be able to download it?

Yes, and when it's gold anyone will be able to download it too directly from microsoft. For free.

Seriously, how many beta 2 OS releases has microsoft made available to anyone who wants it for free? Zero.

Today Microsoft is signing off on beta 1 of Windows Vista. There's a big party on campus and all that. Betas will soon be available for MSDN Universal, Enterprise, Professional, and Operating System Subscribers.

As usual, we wanted to get the straight scoop so we went to Chris Jones, who is a corporate vice president tasked with building and shipping a high quality Windows Vista product. He tells us what's in beta 1 and what to expect at the PDC.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      Let Apple have its way, as customers will eschew Apple in favor of more open solutions--which is what they should be doing anyway!... I'm not a fan of Apple at all, but when the lawyers in the EUC start dictating to companies how their software should be made, I think the companies should just drop the EU altogether as a market. EUC lawyers make a mint every time they levy a fine on a successful American software company. What a racket. The EU consumer should be the final word on what products he buys and which ones he doesn't, but the EUC seeks to put itself into the position of the EU customer, and make those decisions for him, under the guise of "helping him." Q. What do you do when the person at your door says, "Hi! I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you make intelligent buying decisions!" A. Grab your possessions and run for the hills...
