Vista Beta 2

did you have to burn it to a dvd?

 

yes

 

Damnit. That sucks Looks like I'm gonna have to buy it when it comes out because this computer is in it's final days of being useful so I'm not really looking into spending any more money on it.

 

well you can order a DVD online, and if your computer is that old than vista probably wont run

 

Its only 2 years old and vista will run on it, I'm just looking into buying a new computer in the near future so I don't want to spend the money to buy a DVD burner for a computer that I am only going to be using for like 6 more months =\

 

DVD writers cost ~50$ CAD, its not like its going to cost you a fortune. Also if you build your new PC yourself you could always reuse the DVD-RW drive

 

Mreh I suppose.. I might as well just order the CD whenever it comes out. Save me the hassle. I hope that the CD doesn't cost very much.. like.. the price of the whole OS.

 

Are you saying 256MB RAM will work?

 

Whatever...i am still going to wait 1-2 years after it's release and then install it.

 

You can always use a virtual drive as opposed to a dvd.

 

Oh? I never knew that. Could you post some more information?

 

wow i thought links to this stuff were illegal

Microsoft put it for download,so it's perfectly legal.

 

I prefer DAEMON tools for non-gaming virtual disks.
