Right now through my MSDN account I'm downloading Windows Vista Beta 2
versions Ultimate, Home Premium, Business and Home Basic all in one
3200Gb file. My personal advice is to get the ultimate edition and skip the
home editions altogether. The home editions are just similar to Windows XP home
whereas the Ultimate edition has everything plus what Home Premium has. Like a
super version of Windows XP Pro. ;)

Rumor is within a couple of weeks. Unless you have a fast spare machine
sitting around, with a DVD burner, I'd recommend installing it as a dual boot
on a machine that has Windows XP on drive C. This will allow you to mount
the downloaded Vista ISO installation file on a Daemon Tools virtual DVD drive.
The Vista partition should be at least 15 GB plus room for any apps you may
want to test with it.
