windows vista
anyone here knows where to download the beta version of windows vista(longhorn)??and how??tnx? 
Build 5219, the first CTP (Community Technology Preview) build of Windows Vista that Microsoft is distributing at the 2005 PDC includes many of the hyped features as well as some surprises. Because 5219 is being classified a CTP build, it will be available to everyone from Microsoft's website shortly (though whether they provide it as a download or make you pay for shipping on a CD is yet to be seen).

I installed their 2nd public beta version (2005 one). I had following confs - Win XP Pro, 512 MB, P4 3.2 GHz. I didn't notice that reqs. section said 'minimum' RAM 512 MB. Result, you ask ? Mere Taskbar (Start one) alone ate 20 minutes flat in loading...
Let alone whole desktop
I was really fuming by now so I decided this goes. Now I am happy with my WXP Pro... until I see its time to upgrade
