What are the benefits? I know there in there somewhere, i just haven't registered yet

you burn it to a cd then install it
But does it require you to delete all the things you already have on your harddrive?

Sigh... okay I guess I can't prevent anybody from downloading this.
Don't do it folks, newer isn't always better. Especially when something has been freshly released and the bugs and kinks haven't been worked out.
Just think real hard before you do something stupid.

It really doesn't matter if you know what you're doing, for instance I partitioned my hard drive before installing Vista so I could dual boot. That way if I found out I didn't want Vista I could delete the partition it was on.
Edit-You are right about saying newer isn't always better, I wouldn't buy Vista until a year after it's release. If you don't belive me look what happened to the Xbox 360.

Just download the longhorn shell. ITs the beta release of the beta vista lol. It doesnt format your hard drive yet has most of the cool stuff that vista has.
If you don't like it you can just uninstall it too -_-

Isn't this the version released publicly so people could test it's security flaws and Microsoft could learn from it?

Thats why only 10% of this forum runs OSX.

HAHA. I did the same thing a few weeks ago. I think its better than installing the actual thing.

I hope you guys realize this is just a beta or rather RC1. Not the finished project, cause the title of this thread would make you think it is the finished thing.
