Microsoft opens up Vista testing

Windows users can now get their hands on a test version of Vista, Microsoft's new operating system.

Yep, I'm using it now

 

Don't forget to get the key, and also don't install on your existing PC. Try backup then only install.

 

I will install on my non-existent PC, very well. My download is also non-existent though I do have the key.

 

I'm downloading it right now... and then I'm going to install it on a very crappy laptop (below minimum requirements) and see how well it does there.

 

Can you link to the download file?

Try : http://dreamchaser.go4i.net/technology/the-windows-vista-beta-is-ready.html

Should help you get through

I tried installing Vista on my laptop and it won't even install on anything less than 256mb of RAM (I have 224 left after shared video)

 

Vista is a memory hog, it's a huge disappointment imho. I see the blue screen of death every day.
