Windows Vista Weblog

No more Vista Beta2 for you!

by Vincent on July 2nd, 2006

After a tremendous amount of attention Microsoft has closed the Windows Vista Beta 2 program. The website for the Windows Vista Customer Preview Program states:

Thank you for your interest in Windows Vista. The Customer Preview Program is now closed. We have reached our program capacity and no new orders are being accepted. We apologize for any inconvenience.

As we all know build 5456 is already available, but a very big number of the general public has now gotten a first impression because of Beta2. I was not happy when MS closed the torrents but I do think MS did a great job to distribute the software on this scale.

Ok, that’s great;)
But I only write about the stuff I think is important. Sometimes there’s just nothing to write about…

Is there a way to get 5456 as I’ve read that they’ve corrected a few bugs. I’ve had a terrible time trying to connect a printer to 1 machine and the other to get it to recognize the CD/DVD drive
