I would like to sign up to download Vista Beta 1 to beta test it but I dont know where or how to get a Subscription ID as seen here

https://msdn.one.microsoft.com/Registration...ed.asp?Option=2

What process do I need to get done in order to beta test?

i think MSDN subscriptions are in the price range of $1400 american, dollars. So, if that fail you lose al that money, otherwise just wait, something will come around.

With a signature like that, you should be totally denied access to anything related to Vista... seriously... there is so much more underground coding that has gone on it is amazing. They have totally reworked the OS and have spent years doing it. I think it can only get better from here and I await the "perfect" OS which will be Vista.

After having read all 43 pages of this thread I think it very much appropriate that I remind our very fortunate brethren and sisteren who get to download and install vista beta1 today not to forget about their less fortunate comrades (sound communist? :)) Well, afterall we're all by virtue of our membership in Neowin, communists - of the Neowinian Order. So please, share, share, share!!! Help your comrades, Neowin is a "Community" - meaning we support each other for the benefit of the whole community. This is not the time to be greedy, need I remind you that the NDA has been lifted as of 7/27/05? I'm throwing a challenge at you - the fortunate amongst us, surprise us - pleasantly. Anyone who agrees should say, AMEN!

PS: We're waiting, ANXIOUSLY. God bless all HACKERS and CRACKERS!

Summary

- Vista Beta 1 is out, currently only to those people who have MSDN access

- Screenshots of the final Beta build are still few and far between as people download the Win32 (~2.5 GB) and x64 (~1.7 GB) ISO dvd images from Microsoft. Most like Paul Thurott's are from pre-beta 1 or the 5203 screenshot leak. Microsoft posted a few on their presspass site

- Several Microsoft sites have gone live including:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.mspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/default.mspx

- A video talking about the beta has been posted on Channel9

- Connect beta users should have access sometime later today

      Formatting would be awesome if fully customised and then roll out the settings as a company wide standard.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
