Windows Vista Download link ***HERE*** Now With Product Key

[Noema]

I'm using Flashgot to download it and it's maxing out my connection. Will be ready in less than 20 minutes.

Oh, boy, I'm excited. I love the smell of beta operating systems in the morning.

Leechget is much better than that Akamai downloader. My download will be complete in under 20 minutes.

there has got to be an easier way to get the cdkey.

 

[thescreensavers]

the link I have in my post above not that hard

anybody know a way around having to burn this to DVD?

damn burner died...have to go pick one up tomorrow :disgust:

 

[MBrown]

BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always have problems with this stupid computer. It can never install anything. I press enter to boot from cd or dvd and it starts loading system drivers and my pc restarts. Im done playing around with this computer. Im just gonna get a new one.

 

[Megatomic]

Dang, I might need to wait a day or two to get this downloaded. The errors and incomplete downloads are frustrating me.

 

[state 08]

I'm on a laptop without a Mouse. Having a hard time getting the key. Could anyone PM me one of their spare keys?

Would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Any solution to the pitiful download connections and the fact that LeechGet it only reporting a 411 MB file for the 64-bit version?

Nevermind I figured out a trick.

Try PRINT SCREEN. Then, manually type it. It's easier IMO. Unless you're quick.

looks like it can simply be mounted w/Alcohol 120%, Daemon Tools, Virtual Clone, etc. and installed from within XP

also in that thread is directions for using WinXP VirtualCD control panel

there is antother method described in the second post here

btw, for all those using Akumai = it is cutting off downloads
for all those using LeechGet = something is screwy and getting ~400mb instead of 4Gb

I'm dowloading now for the third time, this time with no download manager ~ 330Kb/s and expect that I will get an intact iso when I wake up

 

[Skitzer]

Downloading the iso now, (after about 1.3GB it has slowed to a crawl but is still downloading), and I have a Key.
Next question is: Should I replace my copy of XP Pro with this or mount this separately (dual boot) or on another machine by itself?
What is everybody else doing? Is it ready to be used as a daily OS or is it just experimental? Will my XP drivers, (video, sound), work with it?
Thanks All!

Better create a seperate partition, and do a seperate install. Since this is beta, there is no support. You assume the risk of use.

I'm sure XP drivers will not work. Some of your devices may work right from the initial install. For those other devices, there may be beta drivers released for those devices.
