So Vista will have its own exclusive SW version? ie Vista will not run
previous XP 32 and 64?

BTW how many people do you expect to get testing this?
There must be few Vista installs and only release candidates until the
end of Nov at least for the business version.
This wouldn't seem to have the makings for an effective beta program...

Neil,

Currently the plan is to have XP version run also on Vista but this
decision isn't finalized. Besides, once you see SW Vista Version
running on Vista, you be hooked!

ah you tease...
You know I am hanging on waiting for details so I can get new hardware.
I would appreciate it if you could map out any special requirements we
might need going forward re DX10 etc etc
thanks

So how do we get Windows Vista beta? Will it be available through
SolidWorks or do we have to go to MS to get it?

Daisy.

Typical neil. Criticize if they don't and then criticize when they do.

I think you have to be at least on subscription to get a beta, so wtf do
you care?

Daisy.

I don't think I'll be going to Vista for a long time. I read the EULA.
They gotta be kidding.

If you ever need a beta tester for any *nix, then I'll be interested.
