If you want to try out the Vista operating system's beta, you better move fast, because today is your last chance to do so.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

Betas suck. They are full of security holes and such that leave you open.
Just wait for the actual OS to be released.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Not interested! XP works, don't need an upgrade and don't like beta testing proprietary software.

No thank you, even when Vista comes out, I'm sticking with XP as long as possible.

As long as possible. Right. Until you're the only person left in the Maw who hasn't gotten Vista, excluding the Mac users here.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

It's a good OS. It even comes with a free AV program.(for 12 months with the beta)

I am hoping I will get something cool in addition to RC1 for trying it.

You probably will get a letter that says:
"Dear Beta tester;
Thank you for testing this. Please buy our OS when released, with this coupon, which entitles you to nothign!"

Or you just get nothing.

Uh, no. You won't be able to order or download Vista anymore. Anyone who has already got it can still use it.

Uh, no. Maybe you should type what you mean. If you look at your post, it clearly says you think the vista patch will go away. I told you that will not be the case as people can still run vista, and therefore still need the use of that patch.

Lol, please, do you really think that someone will just get on their computer on the friday vista is gone and they'll hack into peoples computers, steal the vista file and thats it? Its called firewalls dude. Or do you think that vista has a bomb on it? And when it gets to friday the bomb will explode the file and the file will be gone? Heh.

Well betas are nothing but buggy and security holed. I'll stick with Xp until Vista has enough patches and has matured a little.

Besides, if I want my comp to look like Vista I have a ported Vista visual theme that makes it look identical to it :P

I have a beta v.2 on a partitoned hard drive and I must say when it's finished, it will pwn every OS out (except Linux for the hackers out their) it even has a folder for games installed. The folder has like a manual, esrb rating, and.. well notheing else except is't really organized. Plus, I like the new start button and how the windows are see-through.

Not saying you are blind, just illiterate. You obviously didn't understand any of my posts.
