Windows Vista Beta 1

[Boogiman]

Is this first Beta allot differend from the final version?

As in looks, performant, compatebility ect ect ect......

[notuptome2004]

10GB?Dude, isn't that a lot in your opinion

Btw, will this beta 1 version might be enabled with DRM to have more eye candy? And will there be any DRM updates on this forum to help Vista look better?

you mean DWM and or the former LDDM cause they plan on changing i bet the LDDM name to VDDM Vista display driver modle

so yes it will be enabled if you have a latest DX9 graphcis card but remeber it is beta 1 so all effects and special effects and otehr WoW things wont be untill beta 2 and Beta 2 is in production now as we speak

I have a 20GB partition ready for Vista. I suppose I will test a few programs as well and I want to keep Vista stuff separate from the rest of my system. It might be too much, but better safe than sorry...

YES :ninja:

Btw it looks like some *illegal* p2p services seem to have the iso, but i think it is a far shot.

Not really worth trying

How would that work, seeing that each key are unique to beta testers? Unless someone already cracked it. :/

[Lexcyn]

Connect still hasn't updated me from "Pending" yet. This is lame. :(

[TruckWEB]

My god! That's a big download....

x86-64 : 1.73Gb

32 bits : 2.42Gb

Why so diffrent in size? I'm getting the x86-64 one, I hope it's complete (I mean, not missing anything).... It's nice to have MSDN Universal!!!

Yeah, that's true too.

There are also some keygens, but they are really worth trying. Too much time and bandwith wasted

[pzykotic]

Anyone else here still see "Pending"? Mine has been this way all day. Or is it still not out on Connect?

[cferra]

My microsoft connect page still says pending.. but my MSDN don't. lol

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

[depl0y]

Pending means you are not even accepted into the project yet, so I think for those people it is toooo bad.

BTW, I cannot seem to find the IE7 download anywhere on MSDN.

Calm down man,

He was probably referring to my posts.

[thedoors27]

In my connect I donn't have anything available for me, I signed up and thats it, nothing else has happened.

[HistoricalNeowin]

Chris

[pzykotic]

I was referring to the people who are posting in here about keygens, cracks and trying to find it on otherwise "reputable" sites.

[pzykotic]

[cferra]
