Question
How illegal is it to grab a Windows Vista beta off of BitTorrent?
I would guess it is pretty dang illegal and pretty dang common.
OSNews is reporting (by way of what I would consider the dubiously-credible WinBeta) that the first beta pushes will be occurring tomorrow (well, today now, Wednesday).
The fact that it is now Wednesday means I need to get the heck to bed. 5 hours of sleep if I crash right now. Glad I got that big nap.
Proofreading run comment: “Vista beta” sounds stupid. No, “Vista” sounds stupid.
In other news: Mac mini’s were upgraded today, finally making 512 MB RAM standard issue for $499. HDD’s are still 4800 (I think) RPM, which is a bit embarassing, but hey, the thing is smaller than a telephone. I do not want to buy one now, but they just took care of about 40% of my argument against getting it. 30% is where to put it and what monitor it would use, the other 30% is the up-and-coming switch to Intel (Pentium M? Oh, please yes). I think the switch to Intel will keep me frozen for another year or two.
