Vista Available to MSDN Subscribers
-
Hi, guys. Vista has been released on MSDN Subscriptions. :-D When I was on there earlier today, the site said it would be released tomorrow (11/17) PST. I logged in a few minutes ago and the Vista Betas had been removed and replaced with a single Vista DVD iso download (2.5 gb). English only at the moment, I'm sure localized versions will be available soon. Flynn
Thanks! I have started downloading it. :)

Cool - I will grab it in a couple of days, when I can get to a decent connection. Then I can start to fix this stupid computer of mine ( although, my suspicions were correct, it's actually been fine since I stopped runing MSN Live Messenger and gone back to Windows Messenger ). I'll still make it a dual boot to Vista, I have a partition set aside for it.

sweeeeeeet! though I hope that NVidia will release a 'vista final' graphics driver soon, their website still has the RC2 driver :-(

What's the easiest way to set up dual-booting between Vista and Windows XP? I was trying to get it set up where the two partitions couldn't see each other and nearly hosed both partitions. :doh: Right now, I have two ~40 gb partitions. One has Windows XP on it, the other is empty. I'd like to install Vista in that partition. Ideally, I want the two partitions to be hidden from one another. Flynn

I couldn't get my FX 5200 card to work with the Aero Glass interface. With Beta 2 and RC1, it would work just fine. But in RC2, it said my card had no onboard RAM (it has 128 mb DDR2), and 64 mb of shared RAM (it's a dedicated card, it better not be using shared RAM). Not that the Glass interface is all that important, but it is annoying that the RC2 driver for Vista didn't fix the problem. :( Flynn

Strangely enough for Beta2 and RC2 I did not install any drivers for nfore4 and GeForce and it worked.

I don't see how you can hide the partitions from each other, I wasn't intending to try. I'll just install for XP on C, and for Vista on D. I have tons of space ( actually, 560 gig in total, plus a 160 gig and a 60 gig removable drive ). The most likely way that would work is if you had a removable drive bay and an XP drive and a Vista drive. And an internal data drive, obviously.

Cool, thanks Flynn. It's downloading at 784 KB/sec so I should have it in just under an hour. :cool: Normally I only get around 300 KB/s from MSDN so I must have caught the timing just right.

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications. (*Sample chapter available online*)Yeah, 8Mbps. I've just realised it is the x86 version though, so I'll have to download the x64 one tomorrow before I can install and have a play with it. :doh: I'll still grab it though, it may come in useful.

Mine's gone down to 766 now, so it will take an extra two minutes to download. :( 14% downloaded so far.

Nice. I've got 6 Mbps here (had 6 Mbps in Toronto too). Here I get the full speed (unlike in Toronto, where I only got about 85% of expected max speed). Weird. I am not complaining though :-)
