Microsoft gives free Vista to some testers

TechWeb | at | by Mike

Two weeks before the official November 30 launch of Windows Vista, Microsoft has posted the final code for MSDN and TechNet subscriber download, and is saying it will give away a copy of the operating system to any beta tester on the Microsoft Connect system who had reported at least one bug.

Multiple Windows bloggers and enthusiasts reported on Thursday that both the 32- and 64-bit versions of most Windows Vista's editions had been deployed for download. Valid product keys were also provided to MSDN (Microsoft Software Developers Network) subscribers.
