Huy Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yeah I would say Business for sure. Don't see any reason why Ultimate would be up for academic since they don't use media center etc. OEMs recommend Business too, since it is the equivalent of XP Professional.

kingroach Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 does MSDNAA users have to pay for vista.. My univery isnt part of MSDNAA but I can get any boxed retail edition of misrosoft product for 75% off.. but my frinds university has MSDNAA so I could get it from him if its free.

Tamilboy86 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 the msdnaa admin from my uni. said it will be Business Edition, cuz Media Center had some expensive codec's. We will be able to get Business Edition until they find a solution on how to get Ultimate on MSDNAA... I'v will be fine with Business Edition.. :D The admin also said that it would be on my uni's msdnaa this month before 24 dec. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trek Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 anyone attending SFU here in beautiful Vancouver, BC; we should get Vista Business in January. Hi, We are expected to get Vista Business Edition in January 2007 from MSDNAA. -CSILOP Sounds good. Vista Ultimate from MS, Vista Business with my new Inspiron 640m from Dell, and a free Vista Business from MSDNAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProclaimDragon Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I also have it now, but I have to go to the program adminsitrator's office and request my copy. I already have my cd-key though (sent by email). However, I can't state which version do I have, it wasn't specified on the e-mail... I'll go get it tomorrow probably...

t3st0r Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hvorn?r kommer Vista p? MSDNAA?b>Min mailbox bugner af foresp?gsler om hvorn?r og hvilken version af Vista der vil blive tilg?ngelig p? MSDNAA. F?rst skal jeg sige at vi arbejder h?rdt p? at f? gjort Vista tilg?ngelig. Jeg kan desv?rre ikke give nogen dato for hvorn?r Vista vil blive tilg?ngelig. Men jeg h?ber p? at det bliver i l?bet af december. Nogle lande har f?et Vista Business p? deres MSDNAA. I f?rste omgang vil det blive Business versionen af Vista der bliver gjort tilg?ngelig. Der arbejdes h?rdt p? at f? gjort Vista Ultimate tilg?ngelig. Problemet med Vista Ultimate er de meget dyre codec's der bruges til Media Center'et. Det vil sige at ved hvert salg af en Ultimate betaler vi rolyalties til en anden part. I den kommercielle verden er det ikke noget problem, for der kan vi bare ligge det oven i prisen. I en ordning som MSDNAA, s? er det et problem. Men som sagt, vi arbejder h?rdt p? at finde en l?sning. N?r der findes en l?sning p? codec's vil man bare skulle indtaste en ny licensn?gle for at f? adgang og installere Ultimate versionen. This was posted at Henrik W. H.'s blog at MSDN 11/29. It basically says that in the first round Vista Business will hopefully be available to users (in Denmark i presume?) in December. They are working hard to get Vista Ultimate ready also, but the codecs used in Ultimate edition are expensive. :)ope this was useful to someone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyko_x Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 OK well the 32 and 64bit Business editions are out for me. It has a lot more features than Home Premium but the one thing it doesn't have that Enterprise and Ultimate do (and that I actually use) is multilingual support :( I'm not sure how much it's going to cost to do an express upgrade to Ultimate when it's released but I hope it's cheap.

Mothium Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I've spoken to some others at my uni. According to reliable sources, i can go and ask for a copy of the DVD now (assuming they have some left) or wait till friday and download it from MSDNAA. Buisness Edition only though The wait is almost over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin64 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 That was strange, I didnt even see what happened. I had saved a link to your schools msdnaa site in my favorites that you had posted on an earlier page of this thread and then pasted the link back after vista became available at your school. I didnt realize it was actually logged in as you. That's pretty crappy security on their part. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin64 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I emailed the person at my school (Northeastern) who is in charge of MSDNAA stuff and this was the response I got. I included a link to UIUC site showing Vista available. "Unfortunately the folks at E-Academy have not updated our site to include Windows Vista. My guess is that UIUC is currently using E-Academy to distribute all of their software (and not just their MSDNAA library) and so have more control over their E-Academy presence than we do. As soon as all of the pieces are in place we will make Vista available and we will make an announcement to let folks know that it has happened."
