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.

I know its going to be good, I'm just saying how the 3 words are stupid.

how do you all afford such a subscription?  or is everyone here in IT and your company subscribes?  what about end-user joe schmoe like myself, how can we test something that we might buy in the future as well?

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

      RTD and Bad Wolf out Everybody lied, there was never a Christmas script done, even though they said there was RTD brought it back then killed it with the PC overload and garbage nonsensical stories Who knows what production company will want to drink from the poisoned chalice now. The squandered opportunity with the Disney partnership will go down in production folklore

      Problem with that is Vivaldi is the slowest chromium browser I have ever used. I keep trying it every few months in case performance has improved. ...and it's not due to specs or config. 5900x/32gigs/RTX3080 here, Win 11 25H2 etc.

      My only concern would be the state of the battery. I'd be getting one from a place you trust and perhaps has a decent warranty.

      Like yourself Steven P I have watched it from the days of William Hartnell, It was good when we had the Darlek's and the Cybermen. Sad to see one of the longest running shows in the world die a sad death.

      My problem with FF is I have to jump through hoops to get at least somewhat close to what Vivaldi gives me out of the box, with no real advantage that would make it worth my while. (But hey, apparently there's now at least experimental support for HDR in FF. I mean it's about a decade too late, but still...finally!) Brave I was never the least interested in, never saw the point, not to mention there's been quite a bit of drama surrounding them over the years. But I've been a faithful and very happy Opera user all the way back to 2001(ish), so once Vivaldi showed up following that awkward period of time after the key people left Opera and the company was sold, I never really looked back. And they never once made me question my choices.
