Bah, connect has fallen down!!

[saxondale.]

How would that work, seeing that each key are unique to beta testers? Unless someone already cracked it. :/

The Longhorn activation wont be unless they have some special thing in it to make it not accept the Longhorn key... but how is that possible

I was referring to the people who are posting in here about keygens, cracks and trying to find it on otherwise "reputable" sites.

Lol, I was posting about them.

I just wanted to warn some not-so-experienced people who might just think "oh, here is my beloved p2p app. i am sure they will have the vista before neowinians. i will be the first to download and show them who is the real noob" and get their system ruined.

i am sure that nearly everyone, including myself, knows that those stuff on the p2p networks are pure.. bad. :)

I hope people were not thinknig signing up for connect would get you an invite. All that does is link your email to the passport for connect. It will NOT get you an invite, nor will it make you a MS beta tester.

You have to go beta.microsoft.com, link your passport to that site, then use guest ID BetaReq. (betareq, Betareq... one of those it's case sensitive) THEN apply to test Longhorn. Though you would be better off applying for a lesser beta. Usually only established beta testers with good history get on windows tests early on.

[Poof]

Peh, you're lucky... I'm still stuck a PEnding. =/

GAH!!!

Not bloody likely. Any integrated video card is by default junk.

This conversation took place a while ago between myself and the guy with the folded arms and the "smirk-on-face" (SOF) on connect.

SOF: Dude, this is the 71st time you logged onto Connect today!

Me: At least you can count!

SOF: There goes your chances of testing Win VI Beta 1.

Me: Get lost. Hey, and make yourself usefull. Write some codes or something. Or you could help with the invites at least. Because of people like you, I have to wait a month just to get my Vista invitation. Am tired of staring at your ugly *ss!

Logout.

no it will not run...it requires a minimum 64MB RFX card that do Direct X9...

does intel extreme graphics 2 support Direct X9?
