Vista feb.ctp problem

[kenny]

advice: dont install Vista for him.. its still beta or rather its more like
alpha if you ask me....

Do it on a test machine or virtual machine if you want to try it out.

nominal is approx 8gb of free disk space on the install drive. some people require more than that.
10-12GB is a sweet spot number range.
