Vista & Vista MCE available in Action Packs?

[Noozer]

Does anyone know if Vista, Vista MCE and Vista x64 will be available in the
MS ActionPack?

If so, any idea when?

 

[Zack Whittaker]

Not sure what you mean by action packs... have their been Windows XP
releases of these action packs, and if so when were they?

It's doubtful that Microsoft will release anything other than the OS at this
stage, maybe a few docs and SDK's along the way, but unlikely to be adding
feature packs or anything to them until they've been released.

Yes... MS Partner Action Packs have had several versions of Windows... 2000,
XP, XP MCE...

 

[Dominic Payer]

MS Action Packs include only released software.
No Action Pack would include any version of Vista until it is available for
purchase.

Early 2007 is the currently advised probable shipping date for public
versions of Vista.

See

for current UK Action Pack contents.

Zack;
Action Pack is another subscription option:

Vista will probably be included when it is released.
There are a few significant differences with an Action Pack subscription:
1. I do not think Vista or any other Beta is included.
2. The license to use the software expires when the subscription expires.
Etc.

 

[Jupiter Jones [MVP]]

Probably yes, after the release of Vista.

Correct, shipped every quarter. So I guess you can expect it in January 2007
or April 2007.

When I was subscribed to it I got the BETA 2 release of Office 2003, so its
not impossible that subscribers will get Vista BETA 2 in there shipments
this year. I also got Windows Small Business Server 2003 RC1 in my shipments
in 2003.
