registered.. will see nw..

U

...Publicity Stunt...

@pritha did u get ur dvd......
and do they jus send the dvd or make a check whether u r using MS OSes or wat????

ok guys ... ithink i might come in handy now

well i registered to the site ~10 days ago ... so lemme solve your queries now
@ultimdate_z_fighter : the site wont work in opera ...thats y u r getting error while editing the profile ...try doing it wid IE

all u guys have to do is enter your address in the profile and then the DVDs will be shipped to u all ...nothing else .... they are not giving 1 but 3 dvds of vista ...1 for your own and the rest to for u to hand out to others

these guys have already sent me a mail informing me that i'll get my dvds soon ...so u all might get ur dvds in a few days' time

how r these guys giving out dvds ....the answer is simple ...these guys are working in close collaboration wid MS india ... which is why MS is allowing them to hand out free beta 2 dvds ...

i hope this helps u out

Any one alse who got the dvd's ??

@dink2cool
u must have shared this with others also 10 daya ago,
if u think that others can have benefit from this...

i have contacted microsoft inndia to check this site's genuineness abt collaboration for sake of alll..lets wait 4 their response

Hey man this news is rocking.....keep it up dude

hmm pretty kool site lets see if they send the DvDs or not?

letc nd hope gud

P

hey guys just register and these guys at www.merawindows.com will send you the DVDs. yeah i got mine in 10 days of registration..............to update ur profile on the top left side, there's your name written when you register.just click on that and update..............

wat scrap is this???

do we get jus the dvd or the activation code as well........
and u sure they jus send the dvds and no other details asked..?????

This is surely illegal!! If Microsoft knows this , they will take MeraWindows.com to court!!
Vista cannot be distributed freely.

but it seems that they hav tied up wit MS....

Is this some kind of a joke? If so, why am I not laughing?

K

They might be givvin the beta thing..... but it is ilelgeal anyway. so this just seems like a publicity stunt. and by the way merawindwos.com is not available anymore....

@khattam, its still available.

P

thnx a lot , i finally received my DVDs

I have registered. My hands are itching to get Vista Beta

This is just publicity stunt.Have u seen his posts so far just 3-4 it means he registered to publicised that site.That's a trick.

@paul did u get ur dvds... after how many days of registration???????
and is it truly free????? and with the activation and serial codes??????

well i know that this is a reliable site ... coz a friend of mine works for it ... and MS has really allowed them to distribute vista ... well u may suppose that MS is now trying to restablish its dominiance in india coz its oosing market to linux ... thats why they've allowed

@dink i ve entered my details but didnt get a email notifying that i wd get my dvds ...... also i ve kept my details visible to admin only..... ll that make any difference....

Do we get to pay the shipping or not?

ok...ill see....but i hd one......

Hey guys!. Did anyone watch the video of Windows Vista that they have. Go watch it on this place

*www.merawindows.com/MSProducts/WindowsVista/tabid/159/Default.aspx

It says Windows Longhorn, coming in 200..... watch it! watch it! :lol:

That site has a lot of typos and a bad design, I'd stay away from releasing my address and getting spam instead.

U

they've changed their statement:

The first 300 subscribers to www.merawindows.com would be shipped 2 DVDs each, and the rest would be recieving 1DVD each.

We're getting only one

yup.... but we can make copies... btw @ ult.fighter did u get ny email reg. the dvds...

U

just wanted to ask now that most u have the beta version will u still buy the original vista ..... well billy g has to come up with something serious ly good for beta users to buy the real stuff

if its not very expensive..i may opt for..the real vista..cauz it is gonna have a lot of improvements the for sure...atleast whe there are so many changes between two...vista beta 's itself !!
really...vista 5456 /5472 ..is far better ..than 5384...gonnna write a review on 5454/5472...soon after i test..it completely...

what u can do..is compress the dvd contents..using winzip/rar..and while copressing select split file into 700mb each...and then burn all the files..on the cd...then u need to copy each file from each cd..to u r frnds pc..and then extract again...its a little long processs..but will work..and u can install directly. while .running xp..

got my vista dvd yesterday .one dvd.

What's your config? If you don't have a video card that supports Vista, it'll not work properly. Also, 1 gb ram is required, and don't run too many programs. Also try reverting to the video drivers that Vista had installed.

Has anyone got an Aero-style transparent BSOD yet?

@anand -Has anyone got an Aero-style transparent BSOD yet?
what is it by the way ?

blue screen of death. What you get when windows hangs. Just a PJ

(PJ = Poor Joke)

yipppie....received..my second copy of vista lo..i had registered 3 times...and got 2 till now..
now i will gift them to my friends..who could not get vista..

also both copies have same product key how is tht possible ??

go_gamez said:
also both copies have same product key how is tht possible ??

all product keys are same .... every body who got the dvds has the same produc key

so how will everyone activate ??with the same product key ??does it work..

Yup it works. Better do it soon, or vista will stop working if you don't activate within 15 days of installation.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooooooooo

I got my DVD today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received the DVD yestarday. It works fine. I have a question though. If you install it over XP, can you rollback to windows XP again, without formatting?

I installed my own display drivers and I think thats the prob. Anyways I reinstalled Vista and again installed video drivers. Not the new but old ones. Now its working.

For those who wanna know my config:

Amd 3200+
Asus A8n-e
Xfx Geforce 6600gt 256 mb
1 GB DDR Transcand Ram

And this is capable of running Vista.

And hey can anyone plz give me the code to activate Vista. Its not getting activated thru internet. Internet is connected but some prob, it says it doesn't connects. And when I called on that toll no. that machine only gives me 8 blocks code and 9 one is remaining empty. And I think everyone gets the same no. so I think it won't be illegal to ask. If it is than don't give but if its not than give me plzzzzzzzz.

hey Guys ,
My sys config is:
P4 2.4GHZ
Intel 845GVSR MOBO
512MB RAM
Seagate 250GB HDD

Can My system run vista????

C

go gamez - Yes on the told free no.

Ok guys , i have installed Vista in My D: drive. But , No drivers are installed in it.
I have Win XP SP2 in C: drive.
This is what I did: First I right click D: drive and quick formatted it in NTFS. Then I autorun The Vista DVD and pressed the Install Vista Button. Then It asked for partition , I selected the same D: drive for it. In between , it said warning that could not find Primary and secondary IDE channel, Continue???
I selected Yes. Then It installed. But now the problem is , graphics are extremely poor and I cannot install my motherbord drivers in it. It says error.

What to do???
Where I went wrong???
How to solve the problem????

C

Many drivers r not compatible with Vista. Luckily my sound drivers worked.

But my processor driver, display driver (new one doesn't works old one does), tv tuner driver and some more doesn't work.

I don't think you can run vista on your 512 mb ram 845 mobo and p4 2.4 ghz, that's why it doesnt have aero. You don't have a gfx card, do you?
Also, I think the vista that merawindows ships is meant for 64-bit, not too sure of that though. But, you won't be able to install drivers, use drivers that vista installs.

my display drivers also dont work wit it... still the view is good.....
nd call this
1800 1111 00

@anandRF, I dont have a GFX card. And how to use drivers that vista installs??

@pathiks, is the no. 1800 1111 00 of Vista helpline , toll free???

Vista installs those drivers automatically i.e. when you install Vista.
I think that no. is toll-free.

C

Yaar some one give the activation code. Plzzz. Don't ask me to call or something. Some probs with that machine.

It isn't activation code. It is online activation or telephone activation. Online worked for me. Plus, I believe giving activation code is illegal, even though the beta is free.

yup its toll free.... and chirag the activation is diff for each machine......

C

^^
Different codes??????? Pata nahi me and my frnd got same no. But my badluck that he only remembers this first 4-5 digits. Is there any way to check the code? Jst asking. Yes or no don't tell the method if its illegal.

^^
Although the Product key is same for 2 computers but the Activation code will be different for them.

i m not talkin abt that code... dats the same 4 all....
m talkin abt tyhe 14 day act code wich is abt 40 digits(don remember much..)

Anand_RF said:

Any activation key is valid only for 15 minutes.
If you try to put the activation code after 15 minutes after its generated, it will say invalid. So you cant use the same activation key

cant be..... i used the code 1 hr after i got it on fone...

~Phenom~ said:

Actually I also did not have any Vista Drivers for my IGP......
But u can use u r XP drivers.....
device manager------>Display Adapters------>(right chick) Update Driver-----> let me select the drivers---->then select u r driver's *.inf file....u should be done........
Although if u try running the setup it may give u an erroe saying that the oc version is wrong....bla...bla...bla...

And if u r display drivers r not in *.inf files the u can split the *cab file using winrar....

Although u won't get da ''aero'' (transperency)....but it will look like how it was in XP..,

hey whats up guys

Thanx samrulez.

nothing much..i think..now almost..everyone...has got the dvds...so most of them installing..it....
but i would like to tell that the build .tht we all have got is very slow..and has lots of bugs..almost..3 -4 build released..after the one which we have...the 5456.and 5472 are 2 times faster and stable then this build...
also recently..5536 -the pre RC-1 was also released...so dont feel like installing such and old build..when i have a 5454 ...build..from my bro..a subcsriber of technet.
__________
there is a extreme...boost in performance..in the pre-RC1..as released after almost 1 month.of release..of older build.5472....the pre RC1 ..works 3 times faster..and...the installation..time has been drastically reduced..

looks..like microsoft is going to achive the 20 mins installation time that it promises in the final release..

Got my DVDs today. My id is 376. How long does it take to install?

40mins-60mins depending on pc config.

Hi to all,
I've received one DVD from merawindows on last Sunday and my id no. is 1004. Thanks to all who tell about this wonderful site.

Where's the catch in this DVD? Is this a full version or what? Since it is beta, can we able to upgrade it to the full version when it will be released in January?? Can somebody explain.

It is full version of Beta 2. But u will not be able to upgrade it to final. U will have to perform a clean install
