| 461658 | 2006-06-09 06:41:00 | i'm wondering if it's legal to get it from a torrent? you can get email from ms and get the register code and stuff but if their server is all full and slow then would getting it from a torrent be illegal? also if it's a public release..can it actually be illegal? just a thought..big big image file kinda = find torrent for me.. |

You could have a DVD sent but you need a credit card. Unfortunately I don't have or want a credit card. I phoned Microsoft today and offered to send $13 via direct credit or even drive from where I am to Auckland and pay for a DVD. Best advice I had was to download for free. "We can't sell you a DVD without a credit card." |

| 461660 | 2006-06-09 07:46:00 | You need to get a product key and activate it as normal windows. From NZ you get the message that all keys already given. However if you use a hotmail address in which you lie and say you are from the US you will get one. Just installing it now on a free partition I have especially for such things. |

| 461661 | 2006-06-09 08:30:00 | So what exactly are the system requirements for Vista Beta 2? | technicianxp (6463) | ||
| 461662 | 2006-06-09 21:08:00 | So what exactly are the system requirements for Vista Beta 2? Must be huge because I installed it on my 3.6Ghz P4 with 1MB DDR2 Ram in dual channel mode, NVidia 6800 graphics card with 512MB ram and it runs like a dog. Opening windows and doing stuff is painfull. It did detect everything on the MB except the sound chip but did pick up the HD audio. I may be a matter of tuning bt straight out of the install really puts me off. |

But this is normal, the thing wanted 15Gb to install right? All that bloatware, DRM and seeing as XP spends a huge amount of time monitoring everything,trying to phone home, and making copies of everything you launch I bet Vista is far, far worse. This is why I don't want anything to do with it until the likes of Black Viper are out. |
