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!!

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By Case_f · Posted

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
