windows vista beta 2 is available for download now, if you have a msdn subscription or if you're a beta tester. i defenitely want to be one of those vista looks really good!! also your pc need to be good also..

2 GHz
15 GB HDD space!
128 MB VGA card
Pixelshader 2.0
1 GB Ram..

I think this is a bit much for an operating system.. it requires a lot of resources, and then you can only start the computer. nothing more.

And I thought 2 gigs of free space for XP was a lot!!

My pc has those resources, but I made a rule a long time ago to let new versions of Windows be fully tested before playing with it myself as I don't have the time to work out the bugs.

Yeah I got a message in my email the other day asking me to give it a go. I would if I had a computer I didn't use, but I don't, so it looks like I'll be waiting for gold in 2083.

I would give it a go, just out of curiosity, but I'm sort of borded with the whole thing, and don't have an MSDN subscription. Plus I'm a little bored of the Vista thing. It's been ages since they first talked about it, and rumour has it thye are delaying the release of it until some legal EU case is taken.

I can't wait. I wish it was ready to go now. But it will be another year or two before we see it.

yes it's delayed till begin 2007..

that's a long time!
