Windows Vista Beta is available to download

Post by **fac51** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 8:10 pm

Yup the beta is out and available to download or sent through the post, although you will have to pay postage and to the UK that worked out at just over ?10.

The Beta will expire on 1 June 2007 and there is no official support but it is a great way to try the new Microsoft OS.

Download and more information here

I am always getting high demand message

Their download manager keeps giving me an error

Think my firewall might be blocking it but not getting the allow/deny popup for it

i was getting a try later page with that too, but just tried again and its off.

My 10mb line im only getting 6 because of a network issue
