Gio Takahashi Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 This topic has got to be one of the fastest updating currently at Neowin. Probably. Windows Vista thread was pretty damn vicious. It exploded up to 80 pages for me, and I had it to display 25 posts per page! By the way, thanks everyone for slowing MSDN down to hell speed!

Gio Takahashi Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah I think the seperate Vista editions are still there, but there was also all-in-one editions like that one I capped. But there's no such one in the 7 list. They're all single edition ISOs. Just hoping that after all the things they've done right with 7 that they don't go and blow it at the last step. i geuss we'll know when someone tried to install Pro or Home off the Ultimate ISO or something like that. I think in the future we'll see the "all in one" edition. Like I said, when Vista was first up, there wasn't any "all in one" edition, even though each iso has any editions. Edit: By the way, if you noticed. Each editions have the same size.

devHead Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I thought both 64 bit and 32 bit would be on the same ISO? So, i am dl'g 64 bit. No, the different architectures are on different ISOs (you can tell because all the x64 images are larger than the x86 ones). But if you download a 64-bit image, you can just download separate keys for either the Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate. But if you want both x64 and x86 installations, you need to get both images. But the keys are the same (for example, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 can use the same key as Windows Ultimate x86.)

Arkos Reed Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Not directly Seven related, but it seems they have pulled Windows Server 2008 R2 from MSDN....

I think the retail disks at the stores may have both 32 & 64 in one box.

pupdawg21 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Has anyone already finished downloading? And can tell whether all editions are included on the disc, or not? I haven't finished but I'd imagine all are on the same disc. The disc sizes are all the same for the x86 editions and then for the x64 editions. The one exception is the enterprise editions for x86 and x64 that have different file size than everything else. Something is different on that one not sure what outside of the licensing.

magnetra7 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 downloads have gotten very slooooooooow . . . Agree. My download speed dropped from 570 to 50 KB/s.

protocol7 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Edit: By the way, if you noticed. Each editions have the same size. Same filesizes, but different hashes.

Gio Takahashi Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think the retails disks at the stores may have both 32 & 64 in one box. I've never opened a retail box myself but, Each DVD can only contain one architectures. You can't really put a 64 bit and 32 bit on one DVD.

Kalint Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Has anyone already finished downloading? And can tell whether all editions are included on the disc, or not? I don't think since the sizes are different for each version on MSDN.

pupdawg21 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 seems to still be on technet though. Nah Windows Server 2008 R2 is gone off technet too. The link is there but the Folder is empty. Windows Server 2008 R2 is supposed to hit Technet/MSDN on August 14th, 2009.

Omen1393 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 What are the sizes of Vista when compared to Windows 7? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/807548-windows-7-rtm-now-available-on-technet-and-msdn/page/16/#findComment-591391170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Takahashi Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I don't think since the sizes are different for each version on MSDN. Home Basic, only comes in 32 bit, has same file size for Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate Edition in 32 bit: 2385.99 MB Home Premium, professional, and Ultimate edition in 64 bit all have the same size 3075.30 MB I suspect that the hashes are different since apparently there's a file that dictates the edition of the Iso. If you change the file, you change the edition.

Calum Veteran Posted August 6, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have just deleted two more posts. Please do not discuss downloading the ISO from anywhere other than Technet or MSDN, whether you think it is legal or not.
