    Get NERO.

    Double click on the .ISO file and then, all you have to do is click "Burn." (After changing the rate to 1x or 2x for good quality.)

    as was said, if you dont' know how to burn an ISO, you probably aren't up to the task of searching for drivers and tweeking it as needed. Where it is at currently I honestly can't call vista anything mroe than a toy.

    No no its a fair improvement over BETA 2. This is a Release Candiate meaning its not heavily bugged from what they can gather and it is a possible final release. However, that being said there will be a few Release Candidates before it gets to final. With this being open to the public I think it will get to 3 and that will be the final.

    I downloaded it yesterday but only just russled up a 80gb hard drive. I am about to install and I will let everyone know how it goes especially for drivers as wireless drivers and gfx were a big issue for previous builds. Wish me luck :D

    yes it does need a serial. You can use your Beta 2 one. But if you dont have a Beta 2 serial pm me as I have a workaround where you call MS.

    It is officially past beta stage. They are just now ironing out the final bugs. Its almost ready.

    I installed it. 15 minutes to install and then 5 minutes to check out the pc's performance. But once again i cannot install my wireless card drivers. bugger.

    *I got my wireless card working now and its running really well. I was previously running a fresh copy of windows xp on this pc and vista is alot faster imo. IE 7 runs well too, but i don't know if I am going to keep it, I may go to firefox.

    I will put some more screenshots up once i get home -

    So , all I need to do is download the .ISO , then burn into a DVD disc , then install ?

    it wouldn't really lag your PC, but don't uninstall windows XP, make sure you have drivers before hand esp LAN/ethernet drivers and again don't expect to be doing much with it, for a while as I said ti will/should be just a toy as it doesn't offer that many features above XP that would be essential at a performance hit and compatability issues.

    for basic webbrowing etc. it should be fine, and perhaps even light gaming. don't expect a ton it's sorta like XP but uses mroe ram and GPU pwoer(assuming you use aero)
