After all the bad things you read about them, it is good to see this sort of service.

Well done Microsoft :thumbs:

p.s. This should be an interesting thread…LOL :D

They really DO know where you live, so you'd better watch out, better not pout, better not shout, I'm telling you why, MicroSoft is coming to town!

465864 2006-06-25 01:37:00 You have to pay for Beta software?

If you order the dvd of the beta then I think you will have to pay for it, but the beta is a free but a very large download 3 GB.

Hope this helps :)

465870 2006-06-25 09:06:00 I downloaded it. Only because xtra reset my cap when they FINNALLY informed that they that hadnt upgraded me to the new (well old now) 3.5mb plan (even though all their ads said they would).

So anyway with 2 weeks to download 10gigs I thought what they hell. Was nice to be able to download a 3.something gig file in about 2 1/2 hours though.

Can't say it runs to well on my 1.7 celeron and 64 geforce 4 :D Ah well XP is fine for me (with a nicer Vista theme than Vista itself).
