You would have to buy a retail anyway, as the Vista preview, I believe, will expire in June 2007

There is a 3.12GB download here if you click use your download manager

There is a single product key for Office 2007 beta, so it may be worth checking with a few people who have downloaded the Vista beta if they have the same product key
Also check the registration position

Where are you? I could send you a copy. Apparently I have 10 licences.
Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 2. This email contains information on how to access the download and the Product Key (below) you will need to install Windows Vista. You may install Beta 2 on up to 10 PCs using the same Product Key.

I'd really like to be able to get Vista. I saved that link into my favorites to possibly get later. How do I find out if I'm 32 bit or 64 bit, my gut is 32. I'd be interested in using Rich's product key, but has he used them all, or is it legal anyway? I really want Vista, but it's not worth being fined or arrested or anything if this isn't quite legal and Microsoft has some way of catching us. And it's not for sale, so Rich's question seems to apply. Is the product key different from registration?
On another front, the issue remains of safety. Is there a way to report bugs and whatnot to Microsoft? In another thread I asked about how to install without ruining my computer. I can easily back up documents, pics, etc., but I am worried about Windows XP. I bought my computer from Dell, and was enough of a cheapskate to not buy the install CD. If Vista ruins my computer, I can't get Windows back. Is there a safe way to install anyway?
As far as requirements go, do I really need a 256 MB video card!?! I think it's 64 MB on mine. Also, do I have to burn a DVD, or would a CD work. I have a DVD-ROM drive, but it can't burn, so I'd have to do that elsewhere.
There.... I think I've addressed all my concerns, but if I have to double post, please pardon me due to my overwhelming thoughts. or I may just edit the post!

Vista won't affect XP. You need to put it on a seperate partition.
It won't fit on a CD. It's 3.2 GB.
My video card is an old 128 and it works fine.
I think if any bugs occur, the usual little MS send box will pop up.
As for licensing,not really sure, but how would MS know which computers I own and where?
