Older DVD burners are dirt cheap now. For example, go to ebay and type "5002 Toshiba" You can get one for 9 dollars. One dollar to win it, eight to pay shipping.

I have one of them. Very old, but works well. 2X dvd-r writing and 1X dvd-rw writing. It will get the job done.

Other models are also cheap if you want to look through the listings. The 5002 just came to mind as it's what I have.

So Microsoft are only releasing DVD ISOs?

Mmm one wonders how he going to install without a DVD burner :unsure:

Create a new partition on your harddrive, mount the ISO image in Windows using any of the virtual image programs and copy the files to a folder on your harddrive and run setup.

This is current:

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

MSDN users have it. Beta testers still don't have it but it's still fairly early. MS Connect has so minor changes made to it about 15 minutes ago.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
    • Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
