Noggin Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Some people may have problems downloading the vista beta.That's because their computers may not be ready for vista.To make sure you are ready to download and install the new OS, you should do this!This page tells you about Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor beta. This program checks your machine to see if it is compatible with vista.If you get the green, you're good to go.If you get the red, your best bet is to buy a new, vista-ready computer.PS: If using vista, or just want another addon to your XP vista theme, I'd recommend downloading Internet Explorer 7.Unless, of course, you use a different browser.I have downloaded this and it makes my computer look even more like vista.Plus, it comes with the option to use tabbed windows!Just a little note from me,Noggin XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Downloading Vista has NOTHING to do with running it. You can download it on a Pentium 1 rig should you have enough bandwidth / time to spend online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
