            Same here. This is the link for me, doesnt work either... :cry:

            I tried it with different download managers/browsers and even tried to "wget" it on our rootserver but no luck so far.

                The link now says:

                Thank you for your interest in Windows Vista Beta 2.

                We are currently experiencing a high level of demand and cannot process your request at this time.

                So looks like this may be the source of the DL problems we've been having.

                      Pretty much.

                      I've been using their DL'r now, have to keep reconnecting, DLing, reconnecting, DLing.....

                      Hopefully it keeps "working" lol.

                      EDIT: Now, at 6:07am EST I'm 63% done. Gah, glad I didn't have anything to do today that I could stay up all damn night clicking "try again"....hope it's worth it.

                        Mine finished you will have to use the download manager that they suggest. If you use another one when it freezes it will not resume. Mine got stuck at 14, 40, 60, and 80

                        Where can I get the serial key it ask me to look on my cd well I don't have one

                          Theres a page ms set up to get a key, you get two keys per passport account and each key will work for 10 computers.

                            if you use a different download manager other than the one supplied your download wont keep freezing..

                            here is a screeny of my Vista..



                            BF2 runs just fine on it, but you will need to right click the BF2 icon, go to propertys and tick "run as administrator" or punkbuster will keep kicking you..

                            to get your CDKEY...

                            log into your MS passport, then in another browser window open this site



                            click To get your own key: Click Here (Make Sure you are already logged in to your live account)

                            a window will pop up with your brand new serial, make sure you save it and write it down

                            Vista requires a ton of ram, I'm on 3G and felt I needed more,

                            it took 2.5 hours to install, had alot of trouble with the Audigy beta drivers, and on a fresh boot it took 800M of ram usage...

                            so have fun if you install it...

                            :evil: :cry:

                              Took me 45 minutes, from the start to the first complete boot :yay:
                              Finally a new legal build of this baby. I cant tell how I missed this animations and such.

                              Installing crap right now, cant seem to find mainboard drivers for vista tho :|:

                                I've tested Vista before, and IMO it's buggish, slow, and has a lack of correct drivers. Haven't tested this new build yet, but I think I'll be waiting for the real Vista to be released...

                                IndianScout: did you format your comp and install all those program and stuff after that? Or did you use another partition and somehow made shortcuts for all the things on your desktop? Is it less buggier now?

                                BTW, I'm downloading in Firefox at 1200kb/sec , 33min remaining ... Though I have my CS:source server on at the same time :)!
