Vista and now 7 in 32 and 64 bit. Denmark |
Anyone reading a TEchnet subscription holder?
I am puzzled by this comment "Furthermore, in December 2008, Microsoft offered Windows 7 Beta via MSDN and TechNet to subscribers."
I am a Technet+ subscriber and MSDN, but I have not seen anything relating to Windows 7. I have just had another peep at the downloads and still nix. Is there an "inner sanctuary" there, to which I do not have access. Every other MS product is on the list for downloads? Do we all see the same list or are there several? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Three desktops and one laptop with good specs..

hey, just a question for you x64 users...what software do you use to mount an iso? I can't seem to find a 64 bit Alcohol 120%, etc. I uninstalled my 64 bit 6801 and went with 32 bit for this reason (well, that and I didn't have a 64 bit Photoshop and Illustrator)... | | My System Specs | | OS windows xp, windows vista, windows 7

Windows 7 will do it for you - no need for a third party program. Just double click an ISO
Otherwise, as a third party choice, I use Magiciso - very painless! | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Three desktops and one laptop with good specs..

I think we all get different - With Vista SP2 I grabbed from technet via my US IP hours before it showed up in the UK technet download section.
