    How do I install the VIst beta Distrubited by Microsoft

    Ok here it goes. I have just downloaded two versions of microsoft windows
    Vista Beta 32x and 64x for my 32 bit and 64 bit computers. I got the
    compressed file and when i open it with win rar i can not see the iso file.
    What i can see is a txt file explainig that there is no iso file, but rather
    a new udf-13346 file. I have learned that UDF-13346 is replacing iso 9660 as
    the new standard in cd image files. Heres my problem, how can i get windows
    xp to recognize the udf file, and second how do i burn the image to a dvd. I
    know that its been done and can be done, i just dont know how to do it.
    please help.

    Do not open it with WinRAR. It IS an .iso file. WinRAR cannot read UDF
    format iso files, which is why you only see the text file.

    You need to burn the iso to dvd using the 'burn image' function in your
    burning program. Nero works well for this.
    When burning, burn at the lowest speed possible.
