Vista (beta 2) is available for the public from Microsoft

GoPodular.com:
Just a heads up to the developers out there.  I saw this on ZDNet & jumped on the bandwagon.

You can start the 50-page, 4-day paperwork process HERE.  It'll take a *few* hours to d/l it.  It's just over 3 Gb, and the servers are grunting under the load.

I've had the DVD from MSDN for week or do, I *MIGHT* dual boot this on my laptop for development purposes, maybe.

note:  This beta is not ready for daily desktop use, there are still too many performance issues and bugs to run it daily.  Unless you're a developer looking to write some stuff to take advantage of vista features (WinFX, etc), or have run Beta OS's before and know what to expect, don't expect too much.

I second it's not ready to replace XP yet - I've been messing with it for a week or so, and there are definitely some things that aren't there yet.

ahofle:
Seems like another excuse to make you buy new hardware to me.  :-\

Great more bloat.  I think win2000 was there best OS, not for games but everythng else.
