For those who've just been "activated" on Vista this afternoon, have you been granted access to the newsgroups yet? It's been a couple hours here and still nothing (well, just the Mail Beta groups which I already had).

To previous questions: Yes, Beta 2 will be available for anyone who wants to download it. The bad news is that it's not likely to make it out until January or so.

This has nothing to do with stealing your sisters junk...

and you should have behaved better, maybe you woulda got one...  :rofl:

Exactly! Microsoft gives the best betas away to its best beta testers, who behave well and report bugs and give feedback.

(Note, I am not a tester of vista)

ok so its copyrighted... but so is music and *we* still download it...

*I* don't...

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...

Yeah, that's it. Except, I'm actually in the beta, and downloading it right now from Microsoft. I think it's actually the other way around. You guys are all jealous that you didn't get in the beta, so you need to go and warez it.

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.

OMg you mean ******.. thats stealing.. because then she is without the gift.. if download a free program iam not taken it form anyone.

if anyone has IE7 pm me :shifty:

*I* don't...

And if you weren't in the beta you would be just like the rest of us ;)

Ok, but you can't compare you BEHAVING good, to getting picked for the beta. M$ picked people who tested other stuff before, if your a new guy, theirs no luck because he/she has no experiance... So they have to *steal* it, if they wanna test it. I get what your trying to say tho....

But other than copyrights, and the fact that this isnt a public beta, I don't see a problem with someone trying to test it without being in the beta. But don't take my word, thats just my opinion...

On the Connect site, where do we report bugs against IE7 on WinXP? I can't spot a feedback, submit bug or similar link on the connect site, but the beta instructions say to use the Connect site to submit bugs... am I missing something obvious or is the bug-reporting mechanism not yet in place on Connect for this program?

Maybe there's a way to send in bug reports from Vista?

In this case it would mean your mom has an infinite number of said free gift and stealing it from your mom wouldnt actually be hurting her at all.

I think they're still configuring the site, since that area is clearly present in another beta I'm on in the same site. Plus, I've seen a couple links that don't work yet, so give them a little more time to get things going.

    • Why does a PDF software need an audio player inside it. What is this bloat.
    • Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.
