Now you're supposed to see some kind of Windows Vista Beta download thingy at the bottom of the page.

They will usally let you in for a few beta, nothing big like msn messenger or things like that then later if you report bugs and are dedicated to them then you get some big beta test to do!!, hope this helps you understand better

Are you also allowed to submit bug reports when youre not an official beta tester?

I just found an older link on Paul Thurrots Site - It shows a few pictures of the PDC2003 rock video that Microsoft presented at that time.

http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/longh...c2003_movie.asp

Back in 2003, this was actually the first time when I was thinking: "Wow, Microsoft finally hired some decent artists and Longhorn won't look as sparse as previous versions did!". Looking at the Content that is currently in Beta 1, I'm pretty disappointed.

But I really think/hope that Microsoft hasn't shown anything yet or that what we currently see in Beta1 will be the lowest configuration for Longhorn/Vista.

The PDC2003 designs looked awesome, simple, clear, beautiful. Let's hope that Beta 2 will finally show what Microsoft has worked on so far.

hey i downloaded it last night at a nice 590k/sec  :cool:  but haven't had time to repartition/install. i was wondering how long do we have to activate it, since the computers i will be installing it on wont have net for a good 2-3 weeks.

Honestly that's the question I want to ask too, my key didn't ask me to activate at all, I am thinking about Windows already did it automatically when I first connected to the interweb? :unsure: :wacko:

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
