[Ch13f121]

I wonder if that will run on older machines like mine

 

[Niko-Time]

cool, any bugs you found yet? And where did you get it?

 

[pauldovi]

How did you get Vista?

 

[scotishhaggis]

Found none yet lol but cant get any anti virus to install yet!! but ill keep trying . This is the feb Beta 2 version its only 32bit so will work on older systems i would say. it needs about 7 gig free sapce to install tho

 

[Ch13f121]

wow, that's a lot of space.... but not too much bigger than xp, a full xp install takes up about 4

 

[pauldovi]

It says you have 13 days left to activate?

 

[Remonster]

How do you get it? 7GB is no problem for me I have like 200+GB free still

 

[scotishhaggis]

thats the activation. its activeted now by using ;P Try torrents. i got it through my work tho

 

[Remonster]

Oh, I thought maybe it was a public beta or something, actually I didnt think it was a public beta I just hoped it was

Im looking forward to Vista a lot at this point. lol.

 

[scotishhaggis]

well beta 2 is good but cant get the sidebar up yet tho

 

[pauldovi]

I think microsoft has heavily controlled the release of this. You can't find it on any P2P networks.

 

[scotishhaggis]

yeah u can on torrent style sites it there, which u should not download

 

[ThaWaxShop]

you shouldnt be talking about getting a OS off an torrent....

 

[scotishhaggis]

Never said where to get them. Most big companys use torrents now as a way to delver content as it does not tie there bandwidth down so its not a bad thing to say TORRENTS lol.

 

[Ch13f121]

Unless its linux

 

[pauldovi]

Saying that Vista can be found on Torrent isn't illegal...

Saying you downloaded Vista off a Torrent on the otherhand....

 

[scotishhaggis]

well i am not telling people were to look or to get it. i was handed a copy from my work so astitain its limts and delver a feedback if it would work on our systems

 

[uberjon]

man i want a beta of it

other than not having $$ vista is reason im w8ting to get a pc. lol. because i want to make sure my pc componets take full atvantage of VISTA! man that sounds snappy!

can i like portion my 80gb hd that has a preinstalled xp on it from when i got it at walmart and then install vista on another portion? if so plz explain in great detail!

 

[scotishhaggis]

that only depends on your hows your version is install at the momnet. do you have a copy ir the orj OS on a disk or is it contained on a hidden partion on your H/D. Any way vista is still in beta and is not finshed yet
