madnuke Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Why must someone always bring up bit torrent, or some other non-sanctioned DL prog ... as if it's so cool or something Bit torent is a perfectly legal download programe, you can get some amazing things such as downloading some lovely linux distros.

mikey1001 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 will this thing go up today on MSDN as well?? or only connect?? Probably just on "Connect". It's just a midterm release anyway: The Windows beta team is pleased to announce the availability of Windows Vista and Longhorn Server build 5270. This release is the December Customer Technology Preview (CTP). This build is not beta quality but is offered as a preview or our progress towards Beta 2. It will allow you to confirm bugs that have been fixed and begin testing features that have been added since build 5231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamerz4391 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Bit torent is a perfectly legal download programe, you can get some amazing things such as downloading some lovely linux distros. Ahem, that was "non-sanctioned" as in Microsoft says that beta testers cannot distribute Vista. The fact that you can download a linux distro legally over BT has nothing to do with it. From the Vista build 5270 DL page on Connect: "Reminder: You may not distribute any downloads." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
