Address: http://blog.csdn.net/nizhigang2000/archive/2006/06/11/789871.aspx

After the delay, Microsoft finally began to provide Vista beta2 download. Http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/beta2/en/x86/download.htm

Vista should be relatively good, but it is too large, consuming a lot of resources, the installation disk has more than 3g, the whole day. After the download is complete, if you need to install the software, check whether the hardware is compatible. After all, it is a beta version and there are many problems. Not all hardware is compatible. You can see the minimum required Configuration:

Minimum supported requirements
Processor	800 MHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor2
System memory	512 MB
GPU	Svga (800x600)
Graphics memory
HDD	20 GB
HDD free space	15 GB
Optical Drive	Drive5 CD-ROM

To ensure the compatibility of the hardware, Ms also provides a program to check whether the system is compatible, as shown below:

Http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink? Linkid = 65926 & clcid = 0x409

After the hardware is compatible, you must obtain a registration code from Ms. Otherwise, the installation cannot continue. Here we provide a method to get the Vista beta2 registration code:

To get your own key: Click Here (make sure you are already logged in to your live account)
If that link doesnt work, try chaning the 'lcid' number and then accessing or do it the long way.

• Basically go to Microsoft Office 2007 'get the beta 'site
• Make sure you are logged in
• Select your country
• In the gap betwen pressing go and the next page coming up a URL will be in the address bar for a second.
• It will look similar toHttps://www.microsoft.com/Betaexperience/scripts/office. Aspx? Lcid = 2075 & A etc.
• You might need to take a screenshot to capture the image
• Simily enter that URL into the address bar and change office. aspx to Vista. aspx
• Then it shoshould forward you to the Vista site
• Finally you will get an email with links to the beta 2 downloads (dont currently work)

If you have any problems leave a comment.

Update: to change the country simply change the code at end of the URL, eg change 'countrycode = gbr' to 'countrycode = USA'

According to the above method, two serial numbers can be obtained, each of which can activate the installation of 10 computers.
