Download Microsoft Windows Vista for Free

Finally some good news from Microsoft! You can now download Microsoft's 'Next-Generation' operating system, for free from their website. No piracy involved! Although this is still a beta and probably still exteremly buggy, it's still worth a try. This version is version 5384.4 I believe. My guess that Microsoft is just trying to prove that they are still ahead of the competition (namely Apple and Linux) by showboating (or giving it off for free) their new operating system.

You can find it over at their website (http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/beta2/en/x86/download.htm) or you can use these ISO download links:

Use these links if you want to use the Akamai Download Manager

• The x86 (32) version of Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2 - English version
• The 64 bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2- English
  

Use these links if you want to use your own download manager (because it is a 3.2 Gig file, you might not want to trust the IE or FF downloader)

• The x86 (32 bit) version of Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2 - English (if you dont' know which one, you should most likely get this one)
• The 64 bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2 - English
  

It won't be long, until I review the OS, and I'll also be reviewing other things like Actual Windows Manager (from Actual Tools) soon, so stay tuned!

Oh yeah by the way if you like the look of Windows Vista, then make sure you visit tech-recipes.com for this killer recipe I've written to transform your Windows XP into Windows Vista!
