I finally have a use for my DVD burner. I even opened my 50 pack of DVD+R. The reason is Vista Beta 1. As the world knows it was released last week. I spent Friday downloading the 2.4 GB ISO. It took about 12 hours on and off, it kept retrying and timing out.
I burned a copy today and as I type this I attempting to install it on a Toshiba Protege M200. I tried once already and it just went to a black screen. It is kind of slow since I am using an external USB 1.1 DVD drive. Hopefully I will have better luck this time.
If one of those copies happens to be left on my doorstep....let me know ;)
