You can try your luck with any number of torrent sites. But as of right now the only versions out there are DVD iso files. Unless you have a DVD burner and iso burning software you will not be able to create an installation DVD. It is also hit or miss as to whether the software key has been cracked. Sometimes you will get one that has and sometimes you won't. If you get one that hasn't been cracked you will be unable to install it. There are ways around it, none of which I approve of. But, I'm not going to analyze the legal ramifications here.

You will also need a torrent download manager such as BitLord. Just keep in mind that it takes forever to download a torrent, longer than I am willing to wait.

These places and more had the beta version, but later the downloads were stopped (for obvious reasons). My personal suggestion is that you don't install this beta release (even if you manage to get it from somewhere) on a production machine, as it might not be suitable.

But the good news is that you can still have a feel of what is to come . Download a Vista makeover from here :
