Sorry, I only know one person that has it & it isn't easy to get.\n\nTo tell you the truth it is so buggy he uses a dual boot system.

MS has made them time limited, and they will expire after a set period of time. Personally, I found the Beta to be nothing but trouble. I wouldn't even try at this point if you haven't yet. It's buggy as hell. No wonder they have missed several launch dates and changed the name from Longhorn to Vista. Wait until they get it right (if they ever do). You'll sleep better.

Official Windows Vista is not released yet. But some magazines permitted to evaluate the beta version. They said, Vista has a lot of good enhancement. But, requires more powerfull hardwares.

You must load windows XP and then load the DVD\n\nThe windows vista beta is not meant to be an upgrade to windows XP, it is meant to be installed next to it.\n\nIf you have any further questions about installing this, you can eamil me @ \n\n      Sumpaintballer41@Yahoo.com\n\nHope you enjoy Vista, I know I am!

Windows Vista, while providing comprehensive core system upgrades, follows the same rules as previous versions of Windows.  It works on the "Three Click" principle (meaning you should be able to access most features with no more than three clicks), it has a taskbar, start menu, etc. \n\nIt's file folder system has seen dramatic changes that, at first, will probably take some getting used to but are not that much of a leap forward.\n\nThe new 3D engine in Vista (Aero) is neat, and provides some unique opportunities to programmers.\n\nOverall I have enjoyed Vista Beta 2, and am eagerly looking forward to the final release!

Right now, the only one built for it is Windows XP 64, but I wouldn't waste my money on it. it has close to no driver support and it was designed too quickly in order to come out for the processor. Wait for Vista to come out. That is where you will get to see the real difference.

You can find the system requirements for Windows Vista at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx\n\nFor existing PCs, you can check the compatibility using the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor (beta) available for download from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx

Vista would be able to run even with out an upgrade(but you will not get full functionality) \nSo an upgrade will help.

Microsoft Certificate Lifecycle Manager?\n\nIs that what your talking about?\n\nRight now BETA is available but I think it comes out sometime right after Vista. So I'd say March 2007......give or take a few months. (Probably give knowing Microsoft)

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.

No.  I won't try it until it been out of beta testing for at least a year.  Too many potential problems that only real users under real conditions will find.  And then Microsoft will have to come up with the patches and fixes.  Look at XP..... we're on SP2 and there's talk MS will be releasing SP3 because of the delay in getting Vista off the ground.  No thanks, I don't have the time or desire to do Microsoft's field testing.  Especially since they ain't gonna be paying me for the privilege of messing up a computer.
