So far for MSDN only :crazy: :angry: :angry: :crazy:

I will NEVER pay this to "try" Vista

I don't think anyone would just to try a beta OS. That's why they give you access to more than that, to make it worth the money.

I read the last 20 pages or so, but I didn't see my question answered. Is WPA incorporated into this beta? I assume so, just wanted to know for sure.

I will be installing in an hour. what a let down I am setting myself up for.

I just hope it is stable enough to use on a day to day basis.

Anybody interested in a pool fund for Universal MSDN subscription? Vista Beta1 serial will be made available to contributors. At least it's an idea.

i got a quirky idea,

100 of us put in for a $2500 MSDN

cheap!

[benplace]

MSDN only allows 10 downloads of each product, and then only 10 activations.

Calm down. Seriously. Its a beta :)

Only thing that HAS to work in order for me to use it on a daily basis is a third party firewall, although ATI drivers would be nice :laugh:

I will NEVER trust the built-in firewall!

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

I wonder, why would they release it there but not to official beta testers first. Seems stupid IMO.

Do that on sites that allow warez talk etc. Take it off neowin, please.

[Lexcyn]

Does later today for beta testers mean ... never? lol :cry:

[benplace]

Beta testers will get it on Aug 3rd. Only MSDN beforehand.

Paul Thurott just posted a bunch of screenshots for build 5098 at his site.

It should obviously be pretty close to Vista Beta 1 / build 5112.

That seems almost backwards of that rumors first told... but then again, the way things have been said lately, who knows.

Either way... here's to hoping it's sooner than later :)

Man, I just hope MS has faster speeds this time than they did with RC XP... god that was slow at times.

Don't be gullible.

[P!P]

Watching that Chris Jones video said the beta is coming in the afternoon. It's barely after lunch time in Remond. Give it some more time. I'm guessing after Vista got signed off, they threw it on MSDN right away. They are probably just getting it on Connect. No rush on their end. I can wait a few more hours. ;)
