Windows Vista download windows vista new ver

I would like to start with a hazard: Microsoft allows the download of Windows Vista only to a limited number of beta testers throughout the world in several segments: The home\consumer users, SmallBiz, MidMarket customers and enterprise customers. The availability of public download has lately been limited to Technical adoption program (TAP) customers, MSDN and Technet subscribers. The link to download Windows Vista directly from Microsoft's website has been closed after reaching a huge threshold of millions of downloads. Windows Vista introduces a new experience unlike anything you've ever seen. It has a slick new interface and amazing visual effects. But if we put the clearness of Windows Vista aside, there are just so many great new features and benefits in the new OS that you just cannot overlook it. Although we provide links to torrent, Emule HTTP and FTP downloads, we cannot guarantee the integrity of the downloads and we strongly advise you to either install the OS into VIRTUAL PC before you run it on your production machine, or install it to a test machine. We also advise you to check the Windows Vista website on Microsoft.com. Downloading directly from Microsoft's official sites is the most responsible and legal thing you can do. You can never know what people are hiding in builds that are available for free download over the web. Actually, here's a great tip for you. If you're running Emule, Torrent, Skype or any other Peer2Peer application, you must have realized how huge it's bandwidth consumption is. I actually run these apps in a Virtual PC environment and whenever I need my bandwidth for other things I just put the virtual machine in a "pause" state. You should try it. Also, all of my internet surfing is done from the Virtual PC and this way if I get a spyware or a virus, I can always discard the changes done since my last reboot and get back to the previous state. You must admit this is a nice idea :-) You will also learn in the Internet Explorer section, how browsing using low rights IE provides you with the safest web experience ever.

Is vista any better ?

Why did he recieve a notice, any information in that text should be immeditaly obvious and if not, it doesn't really give anything away at all *shrugs*.And the links look like they go to a proper Microsoft website eh, didn't even know they actually let just anyone download it at any stage, or did I read wrong?

Windows will let you download if your windows version has a original serialI don't think they let you download vista from theyr servers cuz that would mean they lose money right <.<

@Chesso.I removed a whole chunk of text and links explaining how to peer to peer download Vista and links to Emule downloads.This is against our rules.. Marky;)

i was one of the very lucky ones to manage to download vista beta rc1. and from what i have to say its pretty good! im using it right now in fact! its a very stable release, but the only problem is that not much software runs properly on it! some due to microsoft blocking it and the other cause its just not compatible! (bugger!!)From what ive seen, its a vast improvement from XP and microsoft has to be congratulated!! it is a little memory hungry and can take it out on your computer, but 512mb of memory will just run it, 1gb wil run it nicely wityh a few slow hiccups and 2gb will run it like a charm (ive tried them all) even a 128mb graphics card will run the 'aero effects' but just be carefull which one you pick (it must have pixel shader 2.0 support oherwise it wont work!)still if you can get your hand on a copy its worth the wait! but i suggest install it on a spare pc (if you have one) or a virtual pc just to see whats its like first. its a real pain when you have to backup all your files just in case something happens!! (i could never imagine what id do without all my stuff) Good Luck!

From what i understand some applications and games which i usually use aren't compatible with vista.Also all new operating systems have some bugs when they are first launched, i think i'll wait for a beta version of vista (:

Sounds like I'll need quite the upgrade to run it decently lol, that will be some time.....

Not really.. it depends. Beta 2, RC1 and RC2 CAN be downloaded and used LEGALLY if you previosly got a LEGAL serial from MS which is valid for activating 10 computers (which is really more than enough and each email got up to 2 serials I think, which is 20 computers.) If you seriously need a LEGAL serial, I think I have a few extras I'll NEVER use. Piracy is wrong.

And seriously, if you don't know how to use peer-to-peer, you're in the wrong place!

Anywho, back on subject. Vista, IMO, is a load of over-priced garbage. It's XP on steroids. All the junk they put in Vista could have been in XP SP3. Also, it's a RAM eater. It won't run on my laptop (AMD XP-M, 1.8 GHz, 512 MB RAM) real well and uses more memory than it needs. If you just want the looks of Vista, find a Vista theme pack. It'll save you disk and RAM.

Another thing, EVERYTHING has moved (well, except for the taskbar) but the start menu is different, My Computer is now "Computer", Control Panel opens everything in it's own Window now, the default icon size (on the desktop) is HUGE (like we're all blind and can't see icons, it would have just made more sense to set the default resolution to 600x800). Also, MS has seriously hurt the Information Security industry. You know, Symantec, Grisoft, McAfee, etc. Actually, AVG will now be promoted through the Control Panel for security because of some company interaction. Vista is secure (for now) but there is probably some huge gaping hole in the software waiting to be discovered.

Trust me, any computer made before Vista is released, should continue to run Windows XP or lower. So if you bought a computer with one of those "Vista Capable" stickers on it, DO NOT run Vista! The version of Vista you'll be able to run is Home Basic or Home Premium. Not worth it, both these editions aren't very special. See the editions listed on the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista

My main computer *might* be able to take Vista well, my laptop will stay with XP as it runs it perfectly. Well, I could run Vista but I wouldn't be able to watch DVDs (it REFUSES to use virtual memory. It much prefers physical memory).

Just my rather long rant on Vista. Trust me, you don't want it. Vista is like sugar & color coated spinach.

That is 100% true, also don't forget that Vista is bugged, it would take atleat 2 year to clean it up and fix up the security holes. Maybe i'll run it in the year 2020 when windows xp is not supported and my computer is able to handle 10 gigs of ram.

Hahaha!!! Nah, unlike Win9X/ME, XP is the first non-DOS based OS. NT is a powerful core and XP is just simply the best. I love their marketing and how it is all "Windows Vista is the best OS to date!" Yeah, well when Windows 1.0 came out the same thing was said about it.

I swear that when MS announces the date they they officially "unsupport" XP, everyone is going to complain like they did with 9X/ME to get the date extended. I don't think anyone will let XP fall "unsupported".

And I wouldn't blame them, I would really like to know what on earth is wrong with Windows XP that can't be fixed? (does anything really need fixing besides some upgraded drivers and things sheesh....).Fair enough that new drivers and technologies will come out but not long after Vista more will belt through and we probably won't see another OS for quite some time.....
