MS开始提供Windows Vista beta2下载

一再延期后,微软终于开始提供Vista beta2下载了。http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/beta2/en/x86/download.htm

Vista应该是比较不错的，不过就是过于庞大，消耗大量的资源，安装盘就有3G多，整整下了一整天。下载完成后，如果需要安装还得再检查一下硬件是否兼容，毕竟是beta版，问题还有点多，不是所有的硬件都能兼容。看看其最低要求配置就知道了：

为了保证其硬件的兼容性，MS还专门提供了一个程序用来检查系统是否兼容，下载地址如下：

硬件兼容后还得从MS得到一个注册码，不然安装不能继续。这里提供了一个得到Vista beta2注册码的方法：

To get your own key: Click Here (Make Sure you are already logged in to your live account)
If that link doesnt work, try chaning the 'lcid' number and then accessing or do it the long way.

• Basically go to Microsoft Office 2007 'Get the Beta' Site
• Make sure you are logged in
• Select your Country
• In the gap betwen pressing go and the next page coming up a url will be in the address bar for a second.
• It will look similar to the https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/scripts/office.aspx?lcid=2075&A etc.
• You might need to take a screenshot to capture the image
• Simily enter that url into the address bar and change office.aspx to vista.aspx
• Then it should forward you to the Vista Site
• Finally you will get an email with links to the Beta 2 Downloads(dont currently work)

If you have any problems leave a comment.

Update: To Change the country simply change the code at end of the URL, eg change 'CountryCode=GBR' to 'CountryCode=USA'

按照上述的方式，可以得到２个序列号，每个可以激活１０台电脑的安装。
