They haven't "officially" released Vista out to a world wide beta.  If you want to get a copy, you will have to use some of the "black market" methods.

MS Office 2k7 has been finalized and is now available for businesses (maybe home users too?).  It makes sense that the beta is no longer available for download because the testing is complete.

I don't think so but if you wait a few months they might release a version for Vista.\nUntil then stick to XP.

Yes, I'm using Vista right now, actually. And yes, this is a production pc here at my work, which also happens to be my desktop pc. I use beta programs as much as I can so when everyone else here starts using the new versions I can answer  thier questions.

Never ever think of waiting for more new hardware or software, they always develop.\nUsing a 64 bit CPU is a good option, also great for future updates when the windows 64-bit will be more available, for now have it & have the PCI-E cards, they are the new era of technology. Vista will be even compatible with older technologies so how come about your state-of-art parts? They will be kicking for years :D\n\nGo ahead & have them, choose well & God bless you

Vista should be out early 2007, if all goes well. There's already a beta for it, however.\n\nVista is an operating system, but I assume you mean hardware. You probably need 256 MB RAM, 1ghx or more processor, and 5GB hard drive space. But why waste your time with Windows? Get Linux! It's FREE!

If you dont have a legel copy you should really get one. \n\nBut to give u the benefit of the doubt here is a direct link http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/5/165b076b-aaa9-443d-84f0-73cf11fdcdf8/WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

you should wait for the full release version of it to come in because betas are usually for computer professionals to test out and there could still be lots of bugs that haven't been sorted out yet so the best choice is to use the 7.5 for now and upgrade later. (betas could have bugs that havent been discovered and could mess up your computer and make you have to system restore)

Yeah the software will work OK, most games play fine in beta versions.  Vista specific games will come out later

yes anyone can download it, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/default.mspx, as for problems, thats what beta is for so theres bound to be bugs to be fixed.

Well you should first backup your files anyway. Keep in mind that once you install it you may not be able to go back to Windows XP without a complete re-installation. Also keep in mind that the BETA release will probalby expire.\n\nYou should be able to run the setup program from within Microsoft Windows XP. From there it should be straight forward. However, doing an upgrade such as this with a BETA version is extremely risky. I had ill-effects from the most recent upgrade I did.
