Get Vista RC1 while you can
Microsoft released Windows Vista RC1 to testers last week and today it has opened the doors to anyone that wants to take a test drive. The download weighs in at around 2.6GB for the 32-bit version and 3.7GB for the 64-bit version. Everyone should hop on and get the download as quickly as possible Microsoft could pull the plug at any time. You can register to get a product key from the following link.
You can try out Vista RC1 for free until June 1, 2007. After that, youll have to pony up for one of four versions of Vistas (full/upgrade):
* Windows Vista Home Basic, $199/$99.95
* Windows Vista Home Premium, $239/$159
* Windows Vista Business, $299/$199
* Windows Vista Ultimate, $399/$259
For those of you who run into software incompatibilities and driver issues during testing, be sure to contact your software vendor/hardware manufacturer so that are made aware.

>I run eight machines here at home...
That could be a kick @$$ "folding rig" http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1676728/posts?page=328#328
OK, Microsoft can arrange for that, too...
lol :)
Yes you do, if they debunk the open source lies constantly being posted. Thankfully we're not seeing as many lately, so maybe you could add me back.
photoshop 7 works 1/2 a*sed with linux...
like the bottom of the layers palate does not have the icons for delete layer and such, and its not very stable either...
it's the beat up on goldeneagle ping list. you should join, lots of fun.
that would be nice for my 3D stuff... 8 machines.. whoo hoo I could render really quickly! :P
You can download Knoppix STD (Security Tools Distribution) here.
Are you talking the design or the rendering? Because Pixar's RenderMan is available for Linux.
both, I know Maya 8 and 3dS Max 9 I believe have linux versions... kinda spendy though...
Do you really think everyone needs photoshop? If I did, I'd run it in Wine or Crossover, but I don't really need to do anything with graphics that I can't do with GIMP.
ILM uses GIMP. Guess they aren't really much into graphics.
Gimp is ok but NOT as powerful a photoshop CS2 by a LONG shot.
No, I don't--though I knew you'd chime in here. You were voted off the list by everyone else. Afterwards, I actually sent a FRmail to the list asking if it would be OK to add you back on.
I was pretty soundly chewed out for asking that question.
Don't try to blame others, your original statement remains another falsehood.
Also, did you check the MD5SUM of the ISO file that you downloaded and then burn it at 1-2x?
Dont blame MS for a subpar download/burn on your part.
