Vista - Windows Vista Downloads

I noticed users talking about different builds of Windows. For users like me
-- not MSDN subscribers -- how can we obtain the latest build of Windows
Vista. I believe the Beta 2 build release recently was (atleast the one I
have) 5384.

The various subscription programs have access to 1 build right now, which
BETA 2 build 5384. MSDN, Connect and Technet.

The public beta 2 is now freely available. You'll find info at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/
The servers are very busy so I suggest you order the cd.

MSDN Subscriber's (like myself) have Access to Other Windows Vista Beta 2
SKU's where as the General Public CPP is only Windows Vista Beta 2 Ultimate
Edition, just FYI. We (MSDN Subscriber's) also have Access to Windows
Server Code Name Long Horn Beta 2 (in other words: We also have access to
the Server Version of Windows Vista) as well, also just FYI.

The only way CPP people can receive upgrades to the Beta is via
Windows (now Microsoft) Update.

We WILL get the latest version of Vista when we purchase the RTM
sometimes next year.

Otherwise, join the Microsoft Developer Network at the OS level to get
the latest bits.
