I haven't finished but I'd imagine all are on the same disc. The disc sizes are all the same for the x86 editions and then for the x64 editions. The one exception is the enterprise editions for x86 and x64 that have different file size than everything else. Something is different on that one not sure what outside of the licensing.

He's correct actually.

What are the sizes of Vista when compared to Windows 7?

Vista in 64 bit: 3,620.62 (MB)

Vista in 32 bit: 2,554.53 (MB)

Mind you these are the original file size before the service packs.

Windows 7 in 64 bit: 3075.30 MB

Windows 7 in 32 bit: 2385.99 MB

Mind you this only applies to Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions. (and basic for 32 bit)

You can't really put a 64 bit and 32 bit on one DVD.

Actually, you can. I built a custom built Vista/Server 2008 DVD with 26 versions and both architectures. All you need is a disc and the WAIK. Then you can roll your install.wim.

Well. I'm sure you COULD on Dual Layered DVDs, but Microsoft don't use dual layered :x

Hopefully everyone has it by the time I get off work and have a chance to download.

I noticed that the folder for Server 2008 R2 is gone, now. I could have swore it was initially said they'd be available on the same day.

Crappy Microsoft (or crappy folks who are downloading right now), but still better than what happened with the Windows 7 beta :| .

That 50 KB/s is horrible :hmmm: .

dual layer discs aren't bootable

Hm... the OSX Leopard DVD was bootable and I believe that was dual layered. Is it a feature / ability of EFI BIOS's to be able to boot off a Dual Layer DVD..?

Slowed right now up but keeps occasionally bursting up to higher speeds. Either way it's 90% down now and estimating a further 40'ish minutes. COME ON!!

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      By 31067 · Posted

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
