I am reposting this helpful information in case people did not see it the
first time:
NOTE: THIS IS VISTA that is in a virtual hard disk for free that you can
load on a virtual machine....
Its a good way to try out vista to see if it fits your needs.

Overview
For organizations with complex desktop infrastructures, whether large or
small, Windows Vista Enterprise is the operating system designed
specifically to help realize a better return on IT investments. In this VHD,
you'll have the opportunity to road-test new and improved features including
management (e.g. MUI, BDD, etc.) usability (e.g. Search, Navigation, etc.)
and security (UAC, Windows Defender, etc.), enhancements to the Windows
Vista platform.
Top of page

System Requirements
a.. Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003; Windows Vista;
Windows XP
A virtualization product that supports the VHD format is required to use
this virtual machine. Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server are
provided for free and can be used with these VHD based virtual machines.
Please refer to the Virtual Server 2005 R2 System requirements page here.

In addition to the System Requirements for the virtualization product, you
will need additional disk and memory resources for running the virtual
machine. This VHD is pre-configured to use approximately 10GB of hard disk
space and approximately 1024MB of memory.

Here we go again, wanting attention. As a child, you were the kid in the
sandbox playing by yourself, when the other kids were playing on the jungle
gym.

Isn't Jerry Springer coming on TV soon? I think their theme today is "I
married my Cousin" or something like that. Judge Judy is on a bit later.
Maybe those shows will keep you from posting for awhile.

Actually I am trying to help some people who asked about if they can load
vista as a virtual machine and activate it again.. That creates problems as
you may know since vista should be activated on one machine (normal or
virtual) at any given moment. By using this they can have vista in a virtual
machine for free. Instead of replying only to them, I made a new thread to
make sure this information gets to anyone who wants it.

I don't care about attention.. frankly I would prefer people like you to
ignore me.

Perhaps you could use your time better instead of replying pointless
negative remarks that help no one and are
not even interesting.

I think you have it backwards. You keep posting stuff that people think is
pointless and just takes up space and gives you typing experience. If some
asked you for the information, you could have mailed them the link. By the
way, I don't think a bunch of people asked you about this, maybe one person.
You just like seeing yourself in print. I just like being the boil on the
ass of the Vista group. Entertainment. Better than Springer on TV!

By the way, didn't you take some time off a week or so ago? I didn't see
any posts from you. (Maybe you changed your handle while I was on vacation)

Interesting, I was wondering when they where going to bring that back! It
used to be linked to the Vista home page, then they took it off.

A good way for people to try before they buy.

Hi T,

Thanks for posting this information despite what has been said about you. I
think that this is a GREAT way for people to try Vista out before committing
to buy it, well done.
