sam_the_killer Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Yes ... bwhsh8r... I know that Beta's expire after a certain date...like the 5384 release of Vista had an expiration date of 1st June.... so lets hope this one adds another two months...

Lkr Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 the beta lasts till the stable release, you wont need another month. Plus why stay with Vista beta when XP is 500% better Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24880-free-vista-beta-2-dvd/page/3/#findComment-170574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhsh8r Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 At this point xp is better than vista, it is my theory that this will be the case until sp1 because they will have enough patches out to make it like anyone elses rc.... and i think the experation date is the same as the burnt beta 2 disks (june 1) max Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24880-free-vista-beta-2-dvd/page/3/#findComment-170617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Just wait until Microsoft sends you tons of junkmail to promote Vista and their other products. I hope nobody was seriouslly dumb enough to give away their real address. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book: "complete a survey and get (XXXX) for free." They'll never leave you alone.

rogabean Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I had more fun filling out the survey myself... I didn't complete anything past there. I don't want the disks. By the time i got one.. prices would have dropped on ebay.. rendering it useless to me.
