I'm going to get Vista anyway (cause I have 64 bit comp) and upgrade my windows and not new install.

Nice find though.A CD is way better then an installation file anyway.

i may look into it. i suppose if i have a spare box it'll be fun to mess around with the vista install to see if null netbios sessions, etc. are fixed. other than that, i have no good reason to get it.

besides the fact that it's free.

Don't get too excited, Vista still has many problems. But once you get some extra add ons to make ur harddware work on vista it's worth it. I have 2 harddrives, one with Vista on it and one with Media Center.

I'd rather just wait for a final version than some buggy beta.

Well just put the ones that make Vista seem like the best thing ever and you should get them all right. I did that and got every one but that one about the style of the GUI or whatever..

I like my Windows XP Media Center Version.

I might get Vista when the full Version comes out.

r0tten · Post by **r0tten** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 5:15 pm

mine still hasnt shown, i am assuming they are using the cheapest shipping possible so probably anywhere from 3-6 weeks.
