Vista download / DVD

I registered for Vista and recieved a serial. After repeatedly trying to
download and getting timed out have way through the download, I started to
look for a way to buy the dvd. Problem is that I can't find it now at all.
How can I get a copy now, my serial can be verified and I am dieing to try
this on a home computer and a laptop.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please don't post the same question 4 times.

Will it let you DL the program from a different country? If so, choose
Europe or Australia and see if it is more successful.

The US servers sometimes are buried with tons of users trying to DL, and the
foreign ones will oftentimes DL a lot faster and without glitches.

Re: Vista download / DVD

Last I checked, the link to download vista was removed. At this point, the
only way to receive beta 2 is to sign up for MSDN or a TechNet Plus
subscriptions. Keep in mind, you will have access to the July build right
away on MSDN OS level and above subscriptions.

Re: Vista download / DVD

Ok, signed up and looked pretty much everywhere. I'm not trying to be
annoying, but I really can't find the download anywhere.....
Could you point me in the right direction?

Re: Vista download / DVD

I hope this doesn't post multiple times but I keep getting an error when I
hit the post button, anyway, my question is this: I registered for msdn
subscription and looked and looked but could not find a link to download
Vista aka. Longhorn.
Any direction you could point me in?

Re: Vista download / DVD

You have to pay for MSDN OS Level and above or TechNet Plus. If you got a
key from the public beta from MS then you'll be entitled to download RC1 in
sometime late Aug or early Sept.
