Windows Vista Beta 1

[petroid]

it says you can download it if you are an MSDN member... what level of membership do you need to get it?  Can you download it if you subscribe to MSDN library? or do you need the MSDN w/ Operating Systems?

Thanks

MSDN Universal I believe?

Please dont type in caps, keung.

You should be able to get drivers for Vista by going here (x64 Only):

You can also try the chipset manufacturers site.

I'm using it right now. Both my onboard and PCI network card worked out of the box.

Has anyone tried using the WinXP drivers? I will hopefully be testing Vista on a Dell here at work. I don't really want to spend time on the phone with Dell tech support to get some drivers.

Does the downloadedable iso burn to a DVD? I mean it has to right, it is 2.4gig. On the msdn site it is saying an iso is burnable to a cd...blah blah blah....

[SAMeAiM]

My onboard nforce 4 lan dos'nt work either, but my onboard marvell yukon does (wich was also found by vista on first boot).

[karma_police]

Im going to install it right now, I just finish burning the DVD and downloading the latest drivers for every piece of hardware I have.

Whoever said Vista isn't stable is having driver issues or something. I've been KVMing between my Vista computer and my XP computer and Vista is running great. I've installed several programs (CS2, WinZip, PSP 9, Deer Park, Xvid) with no problems. I've had a few progs hang for a second but the OS doesn't stop. It's great. Also, memory management has been great so far.

Nope. I ran the same programs in XP and Vista and Vista took the cake. Everything is very smooth. CPU very low, and also, I don't know if it because it's a beta but very few things appear to be running in the background. The programs actually fit without having to scroll. :)

My comp is currently broken, the dvd i burnt was missing a few files, longhorn install broke half way thru, now i have no MBR...GREAT!!

Remove your CapLock from your computer and think about this:

Does NeoWin is a place for posting post anywhere in caplock?
