embries Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 They've said they're going to do this whole download the discs and get keys again when they release RC1 for Vista. Anyone whose already got a Vista key will be able to download RC1 as well. EDIT: I get it. Didn't pay attention to the country in the URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenVa Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Wow that was really easy... Microsoft is really handing these disks out. Did they do this with Wistler(I think that was XP's beta name)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they do this with Wistler(I think that was XP's beta name)? yea, but notice, even if u get them all wrong u get the disks, and also, look at what site it is, india, so most people wouldnt find that except on forums or if they accidentially stumble across it, or if theyre from india :pirate2: good thing that they did not block out other regions, and yes, Whistler was the codename for xp EVERYONE, LET US KNOW WHEN U GET THE DISKS OR IF THEY CLOSE IT!!!! educational purposes and braging rights, what im curious about is will it include the x64 disk ? max oh, and on a personal note SenVa OSU lol, i couldnt resist, im from columbus ohio edit: colonels, was the link marked as spam, because it didnt show up when i posted it here, or when i wanted to pm it to someone... max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenVa Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Eww OSU... I wonder if microsoft was able to fit x86 and x86_64 on the same disk... I mean if they send a striped down version of vista they could fit both. Why would they need to put everything on the dvd. It's only a beta. Has anyone got anything like this from microsoft before? If so how long did it take to get the disks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I hope you guys get the same treatment as those who got B2 earlier. We get to test RC by upgrading from B2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenVa Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I think microsoft is just going to use the same cdkeys for b2 and rc. If that is the case then it would be really hard for them to stop us from using rc, but me being on dialup would make it really hard to get an rc iso.

If so how long did it take to get the disks? lol, and theyd be on seperate disks, on ebay there was a vista beta disk set, with a dvd movie like case, a blue dvd (x86) and a bright green dvd (x64) Universe_JDJ, the beta 2 cd keys have worked on all releases since beta 2... and as such they will work on the rc.... and also, domino, if the cd key math equasion is the same for all vista disks beta 2 -> rc then the keys would be teh same no mattter what... and these disks are probobly the same as the ones that the msdn subscribers got and the people who payed because they have slow internet... rogabean, i did the same thing, and they even put aqua as an option for what is aero called! and i think the oem one was false too WaReZ :pirate2: I hope that the disk (s) come soon i cant wait max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unstatusthequo Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Just to mess with them, I put 4 GB for the last answer so their database analytics shows a misperception (or is it reality) that Vista will be a resource hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
