Windows Vista Beta 1


Recommended Posts

I would like to sign up to download Vista Beta 1 to beta test it but I dont know where or how to get a Subscription ID as seen here

https://msdn.one.microsoft.com/Registration...ed.asp?Option=2

What process do I need to get done in order to beta test?

i think MSDN subscriptions are in the price range of $1400 american, dollars. So, if that fail you lose al that money, otherwise just wait, something will come around.

With a signature like that, you should be totally denied access to anything related to Vista... seriously... there is so much more underground coding that has gone on it is amazing. They have totally reworked the OS and have spent years doing it. I think it can only get better from here and I await the "perfect" OS which will be Vista.

how do you all afford such a subscription? or is everyone here in IT and your company subscribes? what about end-user joe schmoe like myself, how can we test something that we might buy in the future as well?

A bunch of posts have been removed from this thread related to leaks and such, Neowin doesn't want to know about illegal dumps or places where you can get it illegally.

Members who continue to posts about the whereabouts of leaks after this post will be warned/restricted/banned on sight by Neowin staff.

After having read all 43 pages of this thread I think it very much appropriate that I remind our very fortunate brethren and sisteren who get to download and install vista beta1 today not to forget about their less fortunate comrades (sound communist? :)) Well, afterall we're all by virtue of our membership in Neowin, communists - of the Neowinian Order. So please, share, share, share!!! Help your comrades, Neowin is a "Community" - meaning we support each other for the benefit of the whole community. This is not the time to be greedy, need I remind you that the NDA has been lifted as of 7/27/05? I'm throwing a challenge at you - the fortunate amongst us, surprise us - pleasantly. Anyone who agrees should say, AMEN!

PS: We're waiting, ANXIOUSLY. God bless all HACKERS and CRACKERS!

Summary

- Vista Beta 1 is out, currently only to those people who have MSDN access

- Screenshots of the final Beta build are still few and far between as people download the Win32 (~2.5 GB) and x64 (~1.7 GB) ISO dvd images from Microsoft. Most like Paul Thurott's are from pre-beta 1 or the 5203 screenshot leak. Microsoft posted a few on their presspass site

- Several Microsoft sites have gone live including:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.mspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/default.mspx

- A video talking about the beta has been posted on Channel9

- Connect beta users should have access sometime later today
