If anybody (for any reason at all) needs some webspace (for any reason at all... screenshots etc.) I have a 400GB bandwidth server I can set up for that. It's not being used anyways and the month is almost over...

well duh

[Tokar]

It's pretty sad when the warez kiddies have the betas before the real testers do.

586282609[/snapback]

why is it sad?

the people who are really excited about it are these so called "Warez kiddies"...

the msdn people just brush it off as another day in the business.

edit: btw its on usenet in the default group for MS betas.

Just use your personal code and not the MSDN one. Should work fine.

agreed... plus its not a finished os... your not really stealing anything, its not a final product, just some beta (beta 1 :D ), besides people just wanna get their hands on something new.

Oh please. Just because it's unfinished doesn't mean you have the right to steal it.

[LankanStar]

I didnt say non-beta testers are stealing it. I assume these people wont be using beta 1 as their main os, and M$ isnt selling this... as its not a finished product... so technically their not sealing anything :o

pwned...

But they are still infringing the copyright.

[freedom77]

if your gettin it for free why can't everyone.. u can't steal somethin thats free.

[saxondale.]

damn, internet was down for an hour, back up now

[Kr0z]

I think the look of Vista will change, but from the screenshots it looks pretty good already. (Y)

My sister once got a gift from my mother because she was good. I never got one, so i took it from her.

You are telling my this is not stealing.

Yeah, thats my point, ok so its copyrighted... but so is music and *we* still download it... M$ wont be happy when Beta 1 leaks (if it hasen't already) but it will happend and people will download... *the sad truth*

I dont see why so many people are so anti-downloading.... just jealous that they weren't able to participate in the beta I guess...
