Vista Beta 1 Serial + Vista Beta 2

Guest

Alright, here's my scenerio:

I registered for Windows Vista Beta 1 and also received its serial key.
After installing the operating system, I found out that Vista Beta 1 cannot
run with my current hardware.

Now, I checked for the Vista Beta 2 requirements, my computer is OK.
However, I do not have the serial for Vista Beta 2 -- I can burrow Vista Beta
2 cd from my Friend.

So, is there ANY way I can use Windows Vista Beta 1 Serial with the Beta
2 OS?

OR

Can I get the Vista Beta 2 Serial since I did register for Vista Beta 1?

Thank You

How did you get Beta 1? TechBeta? MSDN? Because if I recall correctly, there
was no public release of Beta 1. Thus, you should contact the appropriate
administration for a key...

The beta 1 Product Key will not work with Beta 2. Beta 2 is history anyway.
RC1 has already released to the TechBeta testers and will be released to CPP
in a few days. Just sign up for RC1 at the first opportunity. There should
be some announcements on Microsoft.com next week. Until then, just sit
tight.

Thank You everyone for your responses!

Intel Inside : Yes I did contact Microsoft, but they sent me here

Trevor C : I got Vista Beta 1 from MSDN. But my problem is it won't run on
my computer, and therefore, I was hoping to get Beta 2 and use it with my
Beta 1 serial.

Colin Barnhorst : How can I get the RC1? Do I have to sign up somewhere or
do I have to had the Beta 2 version to sign up?

Thanks Again!

You should have an opportunity to enroll on Microsoft.com when they post a
new enrollment page. Just keep an eye on microsoft.com, keyword Vista. If
you have an MSDN subscription why didn't you get beta 2 there? RC1 will be
on MSDN shortly as well.
