    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

    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.

          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 :-)

                                    Oh man, I can only dream of those speeds. 3KB/sec is a good day for me. I will wait for the DVD.

                                        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.

                                        That's how we're doing it. It works a treat. :)

                                          It's a single DVD image for all Vista versions - the version it installs depends on the product key you use.
