Are there any websites that still have the beta testing version available for download?

I’m currently testing Windows Vista – Beta 2 build 5384. Quite liking the new graphical presentation and such, but in terms of what I’ve seen front-end wise its seems not a great deal different to XP. What’s other beta-testers impressions?
Oh and Im a UK resident.

I’m beta testing, but haven’t found a decent antivirus program yet.
unfortunately, prevx and avast will not work with the 64 bit edition of Vista. I found out that about the only one that works is trend micro pc-cilin 14.55. I do, however appreciate your efforts, but neither are 64 bit compatible. alas, not alot of rush to create anything for 64 bit processors.

I am Beta testing for Microsoft on the Windows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384. So far I have had a few minor problems with the most freaky being the Desktop turning BLACK, hiding the Icons right after I installed Firefox to work around a limitation of the IE7 browser. I have also run into file system security issues. What have you discovered and are you as impressed as I am with Vista?

so i was kind of hoping to beta test vista. right now i have XP, and my computer is about 6 months old with no problems so i have no desire to get RID of XP completely. is there any way to have a sort of duel boot? also, does the installation wipe out existing files, because right now i only have about 10 GB worth of files, but they are VERY important!!! (ex: music, pictures, other stuff worth saving. =D) i have a 100 GB hard drive. if possible, can Vista and XP live together comfortably on here? and how easy is it to uninstall Vista? i don’t think my computer came with a Windows XP installation disc, but it probably did and i just can’t find it at the moment. also, (for those who have already done it) is it COMPLTELY necessary to have an internet connection to install? i mean, because i am installing on a computer with no internet. my laptop has internet, so i can get a code or whatever if needed, but is that going to be a problem? any stories of your own??? thanks a million!!!!! =D
