Flash Swag: Windows Vista Build 5472 DVD

  • Artigo

We have reached our limit. All the DVDs are gone. If you replied before 8:00 AM PST on Thursday, August 10th with your mailing address you should receive one. (Please do not send mail to the blog owner requesting a DVD, there are no more to give out.) We hope to do more giveaways in the future so stay tuned.

I have a few DVDs left that I want to share with UAC blog readers so that you can see the progress on the prompt reduction work we’ve been doing since Beta 2. This build also has the new ActiveX Installer Service.

The first 75 people who send e-mail to [deleted] with their mailing addresses can get a DVD and product registration key. These copies expire May 31, 2007. We will not use your contact information for any other purpose and will delete all e-mails as soon as the DVDs are distributed. If you already have access to this build through one of the beta programs, please don’t request one of these DVDs so that someone else can get one.

Thanks to everyone for reading and for your comments. We hope to do more giveaways in the future.

    I send a mail to secswag at microsoft dot com from http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsvistasecurity/archive/2006/08/08/691448.aspx.

    Is it ok?

    Everyone, please remember to include a mailing/shipping address so we know where to send the DVD. Requests without an address will have to be ignored.

    There are about 20 copies left so act now. You need to send email to the alias, not as a comment (Paul).

    Yes, dual booting should would very well. Just setup the empty partition in XP. Then kickoff the install in XP. Then when you install point at the new partition.

    When you boot you will have to choose which OS to boot to.

    In addition to my previous comment about dual booting, it is much less risky than doing an updgrade. But there is always the potential with a beta OS that is could cause wider instability. So, if you do not want to take any risks with your production laptop I would not install it--even as a dual boot.

    Did I send my mail in time? In my time zone, it was the night of 9 th. But a different time- PST- makes me unsure. Did you receive it, that is?
