Older DVD burners are dirt cheap now. For example, go to ebay and type "5002 Toshiba" You can get one for 9 dollars. One dollar to win it, eight to pay shipping.

I have one of them. Very old, but works well. 2X dvd-r writing and 1X dvd-rw writing. It will get the job done.

Other models are also cheap if you want to look through the listings. The 5002 just came to mind as it's what I have.

Create a new partition on your harddrive, mount the ISO image in Windows using any of the virtual image programs and copy the files to a folder on your harddrive and run setup.

This is current:

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

MSDN users have it. Beta testers still don't have it but it's still fairly early. MS Connect has so minor changes made to it about 15 minutes ago.

Looks a bit old and is only version 6.0?

The version doesn't really matter... content in the box is newer, but you get the exact same thing in the subscription (which is all that really matters).

Wow... So the program name changed again... Actually, I'm in a completely different program. (Windows Code Name 'Longhorn') As the program start date changed to June 1st now instead of July something.

*Sigh* I want ACTIVE!!!!
