Beta no longer available

Posted: 07-28-2006, 01:57 AM
A few weeks ago I ordered the Beta 2 disk kit because I was having probs with
the downloaded ISO version but unfortunately its not arrived. I did get an
Email saying My account would be debited when arrived,obviously its not been
charged. Now I can't update the Vista I have running through probs with
svchost.exe taking over 95% of my CPU and the ISO disks have refused to
function altogether. A pity because I had solved a few probs which may have
been of use reguards drivers etc. Now its running so slow I can't find out
whats causing the problems.
Is there any way I can still get the official disk kit albeit that the
download is no longer available
Thanks

You will be receiving the discs for RC1 in a month or two, it it is an
consolation.

Hi,

Unless you know someone who has a good copy, then no. It's closed, and
likely will not be made available again. Your best bet is to go back to XP
or another release version and wait until RC1 or the final release is
available.
