Enthusiasm or sarcasm? ;)

only joking, congrats on getting out the door. Been running it since start of December and I love it :)

sorry, that was meant to say getting "it" out the door.

Just received my account creation email (been subscribed to the RSS for ages but not commented before...)

Can you tell me, what's the point of having the "password" type text input on the web site, ie with the stars instead of my password, if you then go and email my password to me as plain text?

a) don't need the reminder, not gonna forget it. and in any case it was unexpected

b) what's to say that the person-looking-over-my-shoulder that the input type=pwd guards against is no longer looking over my shoulder?

it just makes no sense! I would have thought that Microsoft, being the absolute world leaders in computer and internet security that they are, wouldn't deliberately code in such a huge bug as this....

can you please answer my question? I tried microsoft forums but they banned me when i asked.

Is it true with vista you can't install the oem on more then one pc unlike xp u could? ALso vista retail is it true you can install on more then one pc as long as you remove it from the other pc before installing on another? sorry for posting here but i need  a answer -_-

Homie:

You seem abit confused. Its no different then with XP (wich only allowes you to install windows vista on one mashean per Key). Now you can get away with installing it on more than one about 2 but 3 may be stretching it. Thats the same with XP. Most people though just buy it with the computer wich in that case then its only designated to that one system.

i found this?

now im even more confused -_-? Your saying i cant but that says i can -_-

when you install Vista on another machine you got to uninstall it from the previous because when you go to activate it Microsoft will know that the key is already in use!

can i do same with vista oem? Cause $400 compared to $200 is huge diffrence.

Hey There!

I can't believe its finally out..!!!

Will this blog have any competitions to give out some copies as I cannot afford Vista (being a young age!)

Keep up the great work you guys do!

'can i do same with vista oem? Cause $400 compared to $200 is huge diffrence.'

OEM means it can be installed on one PC ever. You cannot say, give it to a friend to use on his/her PC and you not use it on yours. You cannot sell it off. With a retail copy, if you get a new PC you can move it over to the new PC. OEM you cannot.

TY MICCAS FOR CLEARING THAT UP. If my bro cant get it for cheap at colleges im gonna buy it at bestbuy lol.

You even think colleges would be selling vista yet for students?

There are more Best Buy employees and camera crews and journalists there than actual people wanting to buy Vista. I heard from a CA store that they had hundreds of copies of Vista in stock and only sold less than 20.

Thats bad!

Diego: Anybody who really wanted Vista could have downloaded it ages ago and used it for 30 days (in fast 120 days with a bit of command-line fu) without entering a product key. Then after launch, they can buy a key online.

Then there was the watch-three-webcasts offer and a few other offers which seemed to be *designed* to reduce the buzz on launch day. (Or maybe that's just with hindsight...)

Hi Nick,

I downloaded a copy of RC1, details of which I can provide later. I spent some time on the phone trying to get these details to you. However, I ran out of time as I got past from switchboard to switchboard.

I tested the release at home in a VM, and then I've built a machine at work, and tried two Nic cards.

Any time we plug this in, its crashing our test switch. The switch type is a widely used HP model HP 4108GL

Therefore, if its of interest to your team, you have my email, I'd like to pass on the details, so people are aware. You may well have fixed or seen the problem already, and if so, no problem.

Kind Regards

Darren

Hey AdmV0rl0n:  I'd suggest upggrading to the retail RTM before arriving at the conclusion that this still exists as a problem.  If that is the case, however, you're better off seeking tech support from our newsgroups, as opposed to on this blog.  Best of luck.

Best Buy usually has some really helpful employees, although you occassionally do get a bad apple.  Just signed up for ATT DSL at BestBuy this week, I always change providers every 6-12months to keep costs down.

Apparently Vista was selling well with the free 512mb Memory + OneCare bundle free with vista.  They were all out of Bill Gates edition and one other edition when I went to my local store!

Nick White , i hope Good Luck!
