How can i get Windows Vista Beta 1?

Kerem Gümrükcü

Hi,

i know, that this is the wrong newsgroup, but i am sure that us
developers have the information i am looking for.
how can i get a windows vista beta 1 without msdn subscribtion?
can it be ordered from microsoft, or are there any alternative
download or shipping methods? The Problem is, that i am not
a msdn subscriber and downloading it from ms requires it!

I am highly interested in the new technologies and features it offers.
I already have a detailed background on things like WinFX and misc.
but now i want to find out how it works in real life!

Thanks in davance...
Best Regards

Kerem,

Unless you have an MSDN subscription, you can not get a copy of the beta
for Vista.

However, you can take advantage of some of the new technologies that
were originally Vista-only technologies, i.e. Indigo (now the Windows
Communications Foundation) and Avalon (now the Windows Presentation
Foundation). These can now both be run on XP machines. You can download
the runtime components from (watch for line wrap):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You can also download the SDK from (watch for line wrap):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Hope this helps.

Installing Python on Windows Vista

by: Padraig | last post by:

Hi all, Just a quick question... when I try to install Python on Windows Vista Beta 2 the installer seems to hang after I select the destination folder, saying that it will "return when it has finished calculating disk space requirements". I just can't seem to get past that step. I've also tried installing both 2.4.3 and 2.4.2 with no luck. Any help would be very much appreciated.

VS2005 NOT Compatiblke with Vista? Are you serious?!

by: Squishy | last post by:

I tried installing my VS2005 Pro on Vista Ultimate 32 bit RTM today and got errors stating that VS2005 was not compatible with Vista. Microsoft......please pull your finger out of my ass and tell me this is a joke. It must be a joke....because I also have read that VS2002 and VS2003 will not be supported on Vista. This clearly violates Microsoft's own terms of support for these products.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
