"On Wednesday, November 8, 2006, Microsoft released its new operating system, Windows Vista, to hardware manufacturers, marking the end of the development phase and the beginning of the distribution phase. For more than a year, we have seen various builds, most of them private but some public, with ever-increasing build numbers. The final number is build 6000 (with a string of lesser numbers following)."

Yay, that means that within a week I'll have my copy of Vista from MSDN Subscriber Downloads.  :D

So you did decide to fork up the money for another yearly subscription, eh?  What'd you pay?

Yeah, I decided to.  Figure I could take it as a tax write-off along with my new lappy.

$2500.

I felt I was incapable of expressing my reaction with text emoticons, so I took it to the next level:

That means I could probably call and have the final Vista ISO burnt and overnighted to me if I really wanted! :D

I think I'll acquire another gig of RAM before I do that, though. Possibly a new graphics card!

Can you do me a favor..?

[Newby]

Haha. You, Warrior, Ergot...

Maybe I'll just get one release and you can all share it. :D

[CrAz3D]

hmm, I wonder what free update I get from buying my laptop

[Warrior]

You can use one key for like 10 people, share with your ten bestest friends from x86.

Put it on maide.ca, and then give the link to everyone!  :)

[rabbit]

Yeah, that upgrade shit is gay.  I bought mine a month before its early deadline.

[Chavo]

As long as you're getting one for Warrior, Rabit, and Ergot...  :-*

I've tried messing around with it on VMWare and its just too slow to use it for anything.

You'll have to allocate it 512MB of ram and possible turn Aero Basic or Classic Mode on.
