prx984 Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) here you go, i think this is what you wanted.edit: wait, i think they have stopped releasing the beta for now, you might have to sign up for an MSDN account to get it. sorry. Edited August 6, 2006 by Cygnus
Biohead Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) When microsoft made the DVD available you had to pay for it (About £11. It had x32 and x64 DVDs, and they would also ship RC1 when it was ready), or you could have downloaded it for free and burned the ISO to your own DVD.I think MS have now stopped this though as the uptake on it was incredible!

prx984 Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 it took so long for me to get the download even started for beta 2 lol, so that i can see
fizban2 Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 microsoft has turned off the beta download of Beta 2, i think the ordering is also done, you will have to wait and see if RC1 will be available or if you have a msdn account or technet account you could get it also
Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 At the open public beta page, they said they have reached maxium capacity and have turned it off.
Takeshi Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 MS did say at the outset that open download was for a limited period. So you were warned.
winxpi Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) Does somebody have a cue if 5492 ,5504 or what ever are available to get from the net?I'm asking for public versions. Edited August 12, 2006 by winxpi
Biohead Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 The latest public builid 5384.The latest build for testers is 5472The highest known build is 5505 (from an MS employee's blog).
fizban2 Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 5492 and 5504 were both internal builds, i am not even sure TAP partners gots those builds or not
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 Build 5492 is availible to TAP-testers and will be the last availible Build before RC1. And the RC1 will be availible to all people who want to test it, not even to the people who activated Beta2.Will Microsoft open testing sign-ups again when RC1 is released?Yes.Will the Customer Preview Program be available for those who missed out on Beta 2 to sign up and get RC1?Yes.If I participated in Beta 2 by downloading a PID and the build, will I be able to participate in RC1 automatically?Yes.http://blogs.technet.com/windowsvista/arch.../10/445959.aspx
OldSchool Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Having tried both betas of Vista, I would advise NOT to get it so soon. There are tons of bugs and graphical errors. Wait until the final release before you install it on your hard-drive.

lion.12345678910 Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Yes, They DID Stop The Downloads, And I Did A HUGE Search On GOOGLE And Found Nuthin, (Although, I Have A Strange Fealing That There Is A Copy Of Vista On Limewire Since M$ Stopped The Downloads...)thanks~Lion
amit_talkin Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Vista is not available to download for public now..so dont try to search it! it is only available for MSDN subscribers!
