Install Windows Vista

So how do you install Windows Vista?

The beta's of Windows Vista are the only versions out right now. We will be doing comprehensive walkthroughs with Vista in our "Features of Vista" section. The following screenshots are from David Berlind of CNET.

He went through the Beta install

Windows is loading: To install Windows Vista, you need to boot from the CD. It's really a DVD with
close to 3GB of files on it. This is the first screen you see when you boot from the Vista disc.

Windows code name -- Longhorn: The old Longhorn codename isn't gone yet. The first clue you get that you're getting somewhere is this black and white Longhorn startup page. The empty bar underneath the word "Longhorn" is a progress bar that gives you some feedback that something is happening. But, the whirring the CD/DVD drive is a good sign too.
