Yes, it is but it will be sometime before we'll be able to download it because of the huge demand. Note: This beta will expire on June 1st 2007.

Hi Everyone I went to the MS download site and there was a notice that the due to high demand, the wait for downloading Vista could be long and they recomended a purchass of the disc so I did it that way it was only $10.80 ($6 for disc $4 for postage and $.80 tax) that sounded like a pretty good deal to me.
