Vista Beta 1...or not.

Posted by Michael Dale on Sat, 17 Sep 2005 9:35 PM

So I got myself a copy of Vista Beta 1 through work (msdn thing) and decided I would give it a test. I had a spare 80gb hdd, the RMA return from my server failure, so it was a great chance to test it without killing my current install.

So I plugged in the hard drive and put the CD in. Didn't boot, doh. It ends up that the Vista Beta 1 CD is in fact a DVD :p The only DVD drive I have in this house is on my G4 ibook and I'm not going to try it in Virtual PC. So I should go get myself a cheap DVD-RW drive (I've seen them for less than $70).

Anywho I decided to see if FreeBSD is any good as a desktop operating system.

Sorry Microsoft maybe next time ;)
