MSDN subscribers get Windows Vista early

If you are an MSDN subscriber you will be happy to know that you can go fight for bandwidth with everyone else who just learned that Windows Vista has gone live.  This is ahead of when the MSDN folks thought it would appear which was on the 17th. Appears to only be the x86 version so far, but GO GET IT!

UPDATE: Appears TechNet has got the download as well (also X86 only) - Thanks Ed

 

Info from MSDN -

This single download includes the following Windows Vista editions:

Windows Vista Business

Windows Vista Business N

Windows Vista Home Basic

Windows Vista Home Basic N

Windows Vista Home Premium

Windows Vista Starter

Windows Vista Ultimate

The product key used to install Windows Vista will determine which edition will be installed. The product keys used to install Windows Vista Business N, Windows Vista Home Basic N, and Windows Vista Starter are not currently available.

 

Let us know how your install goes!

I'm seeing both x86 and x64 versions downloadable on Technet just now.

I downloaded it during the initial congestion and the ISO was corrupt. I waited till after midnight and the ISO I got worked.

Rey:
