Hey All,
Here is some info on Windows Vista. It is free to MVPs, and maybe to some in the industry, otherwise, you have to pay.

Subscribe to MSDN and Windows Vista beta will be available to you.

Not a bad idea but last I heard a copy ran like $500... sheesh!

Lyte,
That $500 could be a "business write-off" . Or "donation"

500 a yr.
That sucks to have to pay to test a beta software.

Hey, tell ya guys what, I host a lot of the Microsoft MVP's, and I will ask the two that I have become good friends with if I can test a copy, sure one will say yes.

I'll keep ya posted, I have been wanting to see this myself.

I bet vista will be around $300 or more cause windows xp was $150 so the new version would be more then $300, im just guesing guyz. does anybody know whats the exact price? i hope it's not too much

Thanks, any comment would helpfull

I'm sure any new OS from Windows will be $300 or better! How much was XP when it first came out??
