Getting it right now :)

Gotta say, I've been VERY impressed with 5536. The power management still sucks, but hey, so does XP's (sleep BSOD's).

Figured out how to enable out-bound program control in Vista's firewall, too...but it is a huge, massize, big, giant pain in the butt. Thanks for nothing MS! Come on, Zonelabs! Time to step up to the plate!

Yeah, I'm curious about the 64-bit version...haven't heard good things about it.

The 32-bit should kick some butt, though (5536 does!)...

And damn, Ian...10 minutes!?! :o

T1 line or what? I've got Fiber Optic and it took me an hour (granted, got the cheap FIOS; it tops out at ~650KB/sec..plenty for me)...

650KB/s is only 100KB/s more then my cable speed

i would probably do some angry calling to my isp if i had fiber optic lines

since in the stupid m$/Windows universe hardly anyone uses hash codes to let the user know he's got a good download, would someone mind making hashes of the .iso files?
i downloaded the 32-bit version.
vista_5600.16384.060829-2230_x86fre_client-lr1cfre_en_dvd.iso
Code: Select all
MD5   hash: 22486E815A38FEFFD9667317DFEEC55A
SHA1  hash: E00B4EBBC81FB420CF047973B95A9CFB7CDF51B7
CRC32 hash: B3519FCA

Dodec, the Vista download page here has the MD5/hash codes.

You look good to go :)
