Windows Vista
Hi Guys, I am very interested in Windows Vista. But it seems that the evaluation releases have been ceased. What is the requirement for Graphics Card to run Home Premium edition anyway? Does anyone know where/how to get the Vista icons? Thanks a lot.

Ive got the ISO but I dont know if I can give you it... Not because its 4GB but because I have a key for it that I think is tied to me :S
Graphics card wise, Im using a ATI X1300 with 512mb of memory (I think) and its smooth. According to Microsoft you need at least 256mb but I wouldnt recommend trying to run it on a 256mb card, the specs MS gave out are way too low.

Hey, thanks for the input guys.
I really love to have the Vista icons to make a Vista style website.  |

Oooooooooooooh yes it does!! if you don't come into contact with these computers on a weekly bases you are not permited to install the OS on those computers, check the licence agreement 
and if you want vista icons have a gander on Deviant Art, there will be tonnes on there. |

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.

Doesn't say anything about being in weekly contact |

The 5536 Pre-RC1 has been closed, as it was only open for 100,000 people. I have a copy on DVD but my graphics card and RAM wasn't quite fast enough.
