一再延期後,微軟終於開始提供Vista beta2下載了。http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/beta2/en/x86/download.htm

Vista應該是比較不錯的，不過就是過於龐大，消耗大量的資源，安裝盤就有3G多，整整下了一整天。下載完成後，如果需要安裝還得再檢查一下硬體是否相容，畢竟是beta版，問題還有點多，不是所有的硬體都能相容。看看其最低要求配置就知道了：

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	CD-ROM Drive5

為了保證其硬體的相容性，MS還專門提供了一個程式用來檢查系統是否相容，如下：

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65926&clcid=0x409

硬體相容後還得從MS得到一個註冊碼，不然安裝不能繼續。這裡提供了一個得到Vista beta2註冊碼的方法：

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 to the https://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 should 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'

按照上述的方式，可以得到２個序號，每個可以啟用１０台電腦的安裝。
