Just in case anyone's interested in the new Windows Vista that's supposed to come out in November or so, you can go here and than go to the page that's on there and do the quiz and you might get a free vista beta CD, I'm not sure if this works or not because some people have said that stuff like this that microsoft has done before never came, for example there was a flash drive that you could get and only a few people actually got thiers. But if you got nothin to do and want to try Vista, here's the link. It's through microsoft too, so everything's legal.

what is vista?

ok, its an OS, i did the quiz, but does it really need 512mb ram? thats a lot to ask for!

Or just download it from Microsoft and run it through VMWare to test it out like I do. It's good but I will wait for the final version before thinking about replacing XP.

Yeah, same here, I'm going to set up a dual boot, so I can have XP and vista. Then once Vista expires or w/e I'll go back to XP.

Wow how do you set up a dual boot.

Pagnell · 08-18-2006, 05:50 PM

I wouldn't bother with dual booting Vista - you will only have problems getting rid of the install after it expires. And dual booting two sets of Windows is a bit pointless.

Download VMware and install it that way. Any reasonable system will be able to handle it.
