Because Vista isn't done yet, it is still a beta. However you can get the beta by...well beta testing. From my experience...don't touch vista...just piss on it. And if you have anything illegal, such as anime, music, porn, etc. You are reported, sighted and fined because Vista checks your HDD regularly.

Eldest you probably did something wrong =_=;

My hard drive is split into two.Thats how it came.My C drive doesnt have 15 gigs even if i did delete everything off there.Only a total of 13 but my D drive does have more then enough and i dont kno how to switch the path to where it can be installed there.
Another thing was that my graphic adapter is only 32.00 mb when i need about 128 mb.Not even close lol. So basically those two things are in my way

And about the checking your hard drive Creesco said...is that even legal? I mean isn't that an invasion of privacy. If microsoft could just search our files so easily like that then what about the important document we have on our computer that is for our eyes only? I dont think they would do something like that and if they did it would end up in a lot of angry people.

You’re making my fear of my computer intricacy come to mind again.

As for the other. that’s why I doubt it so much its not really in Microsoft’s interest to spy on us for ithere the Entertainment industry or the government since if it where ever true no one would ever buy there products again. I know I wouldn’t.
