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

These guys are offering you help, and you have not responded to them in a way to which they can understand if you tried their suggestions or not.

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. :)

    • UK nudity blockers are a looming privacy disaster, we must be able to see the source code

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Wow, this is some Iran, Cuba, China, Russia, North Korea-level citizen surveillance right there, the UK's government has gone totally mad. Power trip indeed, their politicians are totally out of control about this issue. They're starting to cross limits I wouldn't have imagined, to be honest. British people, fight this, your privacy and freedoms are in danger. Vote this government out of power.
    • Nintendo unveils The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and it's out this year

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nintendo unveils The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and it's out this year by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Confirming many rumors, Nintendo officially announced a remake of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the very first game in the series that offered a 3D experience to fans. Unlike previous remasters and re-releases, the originally 1998-released fantasy adventure game is being remade from the ground up for the Nintendo Switch 2 console this time. "The Nintendo 64 classic returns for a new generation in 2026, reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2," said the company about today's announcement. While Nintendo didn't go into much detail about the project, other than confirming its existence, we did get a small teaser trailer at the Direct presentation today. Catch the footage below: With a tapestry as the backdrop, the first half of the trailer tells the tale of Hyrule, the Kokiri forest dwellers, and their fairy companions. It goes onto introduce "one particular boy" without a fairy, which then cuts to a sleeping Link, showcasing what looks like the new art style being introduced in the remake. Unfortunately, no gameplay or a look at the world has been revealed yet. The game originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 1998, offering a time travel adventure where Link is once again going up against the evil king Ganondorf. The hugely well-received title has only been playable on modern Nintendo consoles using the Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't have a firm release date yet, but Nintendo says it will be released sometime in 2026. Considering just how many publishers are avoiding the Grand Theft Auto VI release nowadays, the company may copy that strategy and also opt to bring this out before November this year.
