download free Podcasts about Vista from Microsoft TechNet

by Mary Ford on October 5th, 2006

If you’re in a hurry to understand Windows Vista, now Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is available for download, Microsoft has also created audio podcasts on Vista for you to download.

Free beta downloads and lots of free learning tools are nice, but what we really want to know is how locked out are we going to be from this new, ‘improved’ version of Windows and what does that mean for security. We Get Annoyed (WGA) when Microsoft’s WGA wrongly identifies our software as unlicensed (when it is, indeed, purchased, licensed and registered with Microsoft.).
Today’s top 4 headlines at Daily Rotation demonstrate that concern:
• Microsoft to rip your head off if you pirate Vista (theinquirer)
• Vista Lockdown: McAfee Learns the Meaning of Proprietary (microsoft-watch)
• What Microsoft still isn’t saying about WGA and Volume Activation 2.0 (blogs.zdnet)
• Microsoft to lock pirates out of Vista PCs (cnet) [Daily Rotation]
