You'd hope so, but Vista was originally supposed to come out in 2005 ;)

But then I have to go to London via train, walk round to the right station to get the DLR, get off the DLR at the right stop, get into the Datacenter, copy the DVD iso to my laptop, come home, transfer the DVD to my desktop, burn the DVD, take the hard drives out of my desktop, put in a clean one I dont care about, convince Vista to boot....

If I can wait 18 hours for it to download to my FreeBSD server at home, then transfer it to my desktop at gigabit speeds, burn then go it will save me money and hassle :D
 
your activate windows icon is still in your taskbar :p
 
no it's not :p not to mention i've not posted any screenshots ;)
 
Anyone know of anyway that I can burn the 64bit version of it without a 64bit OS? Or am I dead in the water?

you should be fine, you just cant run it on 32bit processors


@Henyman: fair enough then, ming needs to activate then :p
 
It's an .ISO, don't see why you can't burn it to a DVD from within a 32-bit OS. Am I wrong?
 
Bah you are both Elite Members with Green names, that's about the only similarity I can see :D

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about whoever told Heny to activate his Windows.

Interesting, what happens is it will start to burn the file and about 3 seconds later it will stop. Odd thing is is that it does NOT turn the DVD into a coaster...any thoughts?
 
Yeah, my thought is that the burn process never gets off the ground :p

More seriously though, as I stated and Geffy/NR confirmed, and .ISO is an .ISO. The only difference being that you can't run it with a 32-bit CPU.

-edit- Also you got your .ISO via a torrent file, the integrity of the .ISO can be questionable.
 
Im using the download manager that Microsoft were offering on the download page and by hell this is downloading damn fast! I clicked off the window for a few seconds and then clicked back on it...30MB done already!!! :eek: Now its at 100MB! Thats like a minute gone by! WHOAH! 110! 120! Im going to get some beer for this. This is the fastest download I have ever seen! 130!!!

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
