There are beta builds floating around, however. See for example alt.binaries.cd.image where build 5381 (64-bit) as been posted. I am not familiar with the licensing for such betas, however, so it may not be legal to install them unless you are an MS beta tester.

< "Mainstream deployment of Vista won't even really begin until 2008, but Microsoft is trying to address issues related to enterprise and consumer issues now," said Gartner analyst Michael Silver. "They'll be careful to craft their announcements to reflect what's definitely going to appear." \n\nOne of Microsoft's Web sites revealed new information about different versions of the company's upcoming operating system, Windows Vista, but was posted prematurely and yanked off the network quickly. \nA page in the company's online help section noted that Microsoft will release eight different editions of the new operating system, although no formal announcements have been made about that plan. \n\nAfter removing the page, Microsoft noted that it would not confirm or deny the information, and will instead continue with its rollout of Vista details, which began months ago and is due to continue until the operating system ships in late 2006. \n\nIndustry Gossip \n\nMedia organizations that perused the Web site before it was removed noted that Microsoft would be offering six different editions of Vista for a U.S. and non-European audience. \n\nOne of the editions, reportedly called Windows Starter 2007, will be a stripped-down version of the system that is likely to be targeted at emerging markets that are trying to fight software piracy. \n\nOther editions supposedly include basic and premium versions for home users, and tailored editions for small businesses and large enterprises. \n\nThe Web site also noted that a higher-end product, named Windows Vista Ultimate, will be geared toward gamers and those who use multimedia extensively. \n\nTwo other variations do not include Windows Media Player, and would be targeted for Europe. The creation of these editions would comply with the European Union's antitrust rulings. \n\nFor more information check the site below.

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 could probably download a trial version from the microsoft website. If you want to purchase it, don't do it directly from them, because you will pay top dollar. Do some research first and see who has the best price.

Download the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft website. Then install it onto your computer. Run the application and it will let you know if your current good machine is good enough to run Vista.\n\n\nNote: Vista will be available in 5 flavours. Basic to Premium.

Windows Vista is the next version of the Windows operating system after XP.  It is due to be released early in 2007 and is currently in limited beta testing.  It was intended to be released before the end of this year, but instead it is delayed to 1Q 2007.  Instead PC manufacturers will be selling 'Vista Capable' machines with a little Vista sticker and possibly a free upgrade with the PC.\n\nThe main features are added security, new hardware accelerated translucent UI, new digital rights management, etc.  You can read more about it on the Microsoft website.\n\nI'm currently running the beta version and so far I'm intrigued but not necessarily sold on everyone needing the new version.  It requires that you have a video accelerator as a minimum to do most things, and a relatively fast processor.  Most likely you'll need new hardware to run it unless you bought your PC very recently.

If you buy the full version of Windows Vista, you will have a genuine copy of Windows.  If you buy the upgrade version of Vista, you will need a genuine copy of Windows XP to upgrade from.

HAHA, nice joke! I appreciate your sense of humor. But, if you're really serious then plz use any file sharing application like eMule or eDonkey, Bit Torrent etc. That way you can search and download Windows Vista!

Windows XP is the current Windows Operating System. Vista won't be available until sometime in January. In the XP family there is service pack 2 which you can download from www.microsoft.com but ONLY if you have legitimate software and the copy of Windows you are running isn't pirated.
