#32 | From the blog Quote: |
we are adding some additional infrastructure support to the Microsoft.com properties before we post the public beta.
|
Hmmm, some people have reported they are or have downloaded it.
Hard to believe MS was not prepared for this event. |  | Former Administrator with 104,744 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2001 Experience: Advanced |

#37 | I'm running it on a VM with 512MB allocated to it, it seems to be running nicely, but I think I'm going to install it on an actual PC. I have another laptop here that might be perfect for it. | | | Former Administrator with 104,744 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2001 Experience: Advanced |

#42 | The upgrade option works in the version downloaded from the public download as well. Though I was really worried when the upgrade from Vista Home Basic took me more than 2.5 hours. It is going to take some getting used to though. And I have yet to check out my home network on it. But it is working as witnessed by me posting this here.
