Just got an email through from the Windows Beta Team informing them that my Windows Vista RTM Ultimate Edition product key is available. Yay.
Anyone who filed one or more bug during the Vista beta gets a downloadable copy of 32bit and 64bit Vista with a key for Ultimate edition. Only two conditions being that its download-only and that its a single-activation key (which I assume means I have to use either 32bit or 64bit, not both).
I think I can also get a few more keys via my MSDN subscriptions, but technically they're for development and testing purposes only. But I only use Vista on my devbox anyway so I suppose thats a moot point...
anyway, got me thinking about how much disk space I'm using to store older versions of Vista [lol]
5231 (x86) - 2.86gb
5270 (x86 staged) - 1.9gb
5270 (x86) - 1.97gb
5308 (x86) - 2.71gb
5342 (x86) - 2.79gb
5365 (x86) - 3.02gb
5381 (x86 checked) - 3.26gb
5381 (x86) - 2.24gb
5384 (x86) - 3.12gb
5456 (x86) - 2.51gb
5472 (x86) - 2.56gb
5536 (x86) - 2.58gb
5600 (x64) - 3.59gb
6000 (x86) - 2.49gb
6000 (x64) - 3.53gb
A mere 41.13 Gigabytes of space on my disk [wow].
From here onwards I shall use this as an example of why having absolutely huge HDD's is not necessarily a good thing - it just allows you to collect even more rubbish you don't really need [lol]
