Isn't there a reason why it's free? Not very computer savvy, but couldn't there be bugs, or does it stop after some time?

Yeah, this is like an open beta test.

Since you seem to be computer savvy, would you happen to know if there is a color-code in html for transparent or clear?

Chances are it will stop after 365 days, least that is what I have seen in the past.

By "upgrade", does that mean an upgrade from a pre-existing XP install? Or an upgrade from the release candidate?

its not bad, its a LOT better than the BETA2 version that they released last time. IF you still have the Vista Beta2 Serial #
ITS the same.

I upgraded to Linux a long time ago.

It expires June 1, 2007. Meaning that you'll have basically four choices:
a.) Go out and buy a copy of Vista
b.) Figure out a hack that will let it run past then.
c.) Install a new OS. At which point one could either reinstall XP or try out Linux.
d.) Get a new computer (i.e. Mac)

What did you say?

Is your pinglist for people who know lots about computers, or is it for ordinary people, too?

Thanks for the link, I tried to get this during the earlier beta release but was experiencing 'technical difficulties' during the registration process.

style="display:none;"

By "upgrade", does that mean an upgrade from a pre-existing XP install? Or an upgrade from the release candidate? I believe you can upgrade WinXP although I Made a partition and installed it fresh... IF you do an upgrade you need at least 9GB free on the drive i believe because it stores your settings...

I run eight machines here at home (I just do...) and I have no desire to put another OS on any of them, even if they gave me a free license.

I am a developer and I finally had to take it off by laptop. Not my main laptop... My testing laptop. I put XP back on it. At least it will run with XP. This version of Windows will make the Millennium version look like robust code.
This disaster follows the old line that says for every bug fixed 1.3 bugs are introduced.
The network stuff is screwed up beyond belief.
