They can do it if they give one more Dvd with a special issue & charge us Rs25 more

I am on an OS downloading spree as of now. Suse 10.1, OpenDarwin, Knoppix 5.0.1 and now Vista Beta 2. Make a full use of 24hour unlimited connection for legal downloads :p .
Who's the 3rd person who's downloading besides me and ankurgupta.me?

32 Bit will work on 32 bit processors, while the 64 Bit version will work on 64 bit processors ONLY.

Download the one based on your processor.

It's not worth it. It's has lot of bugs , and lot of incompatibility issues. Let Microsoft
release Vista officially. I'm sure lot of applications still won't run in Vista. Anyway who
wants a crippleware!!

First of all the concept of downloading without bittorrent is not a good idea. Even though the download has pause and resume, the link always says that its busy.it would have been a good idea had microsoft given it through bittorrent

well u can get it thru torrent.. ie p2p.. but again im not very sure dat wthr it wil b legal or not... btw i think if digitizers(phellas at digit ;)) want thn they can surely carry it in da nxt dvd... wonderin...

My download seems to be corrupted. I burnt a DVD but it is hanging after asking serial key. I installed XP and tried burning using nero but it threw up errors. I may download it again in a day or two.
