Has anyone installed Windows Vista Beta on Virtual PC?

Unlike most people I have contacted, yes. I have. It wasn't easy, but I have.\n\nPre- 256MB RAM or more.\n1- Install Windows XP Professional on the Virtual PC.\n(Make sure that the VPC is set to "Other" on creation!)\n2- When it starts up after installation, immediately insert the disk, or mount the disk image.\n3- Install Vista.\n4- After installation, the video will be set to 8bit mode. Install the thing (Sorry, I forgot the name...) that you have to install for additional features with your virtual pc. (It's in one of the File menus!)\n\nThanks for the good question, and I hope that helps!

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

No, not unless it's preloaded with a new system I buy and I can't get a discount by having it unloaded.  I have XP, it works fine, and unless I can get a license for Vista legally for no charge, I'll continue using XP or I'll put on Ubuntu instead.

Now, a version will be available for corporate customers from November 2006, while the public will have to wait until January 2007 for the new operating system.\n\nBBC News\n\nAs for betas, don't bother. Vista is said to be the most processor munching version of Windows yet. Only the latest computers will run it. However if your really desperate try a forum or join Microsoft MSDN subscription service and they will give it to you for free.

If you were a part of the Windows Vista beta program, and already have the Beta RC1 release, there is a free download of RC2 if you still have the codes.  (I don't have them).\n\nRead all about it at \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx\n\nGood luck and thank you for the ten points and BEST Answer.

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!

I just tried the Vista 57xx build and even with a P4 3.6 ghz, geforce fx 550 256mb graphic card and 1 gb of ram, it WAS SO SLOW. Even if the website requires only 1.6 ghz or what have you, Vista asks for alot of power. So unless Microsoft is willing to lower the vista components, your going to have to upgrade to at least the Geforce 6 series or your p4.  \n\nIf your willing to spend money, i recommend getting a PCI- express compatiable motherboard since PCI-express graphic cards will surpass the AGP and  the pCi express graphic cards ARE ALOTTTTTT CHEAPER!!! Besides that  =/

Yes, it called VISTA. Go here for details:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.aspx\n\nBut don't wait for it yet. To get the most out of it you need a high spec PC (especially a good graphics card). Wait for the second release it will be much more stable and the number of bugs will be reduced.

Very likely it should work.  What will make a difference is the graphics processor you have.  Vista will use graphics very similar to WinXP if you do not have a good graphics processor chip.\nIf you are planning to "test" this, make sure you have a backup of everything on your hard drive, or use another empty hard drive to do the testing.

The latest OS you can purchase from MS is still windows XP.\nBut MS Vista is actually launched.\nBut only its beta version is available.\n\n http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getthebeta/default.aspx
