Are you now running a dual boot system?
Is this MSDNAA Vista Business version different from other Business versions i.e.the program allows students and faculty to obtain free copies of select Microsoft products, including Windows Vista Business.?
With MSDN-AA software there are important restrictions on how the software may be used.?
I suspect this vista version has something to do with the color resolution !!!!!!!! |
The MSDNAA is just an MS licensing program which allows members of certain universities to get MS software for free. This is just the case: I'm trying to use a Vista Business Edition through the MSDNAA licensing program, and this Business edition is exactly the same than the one you can buy anywhere (except for the pretty package, as the software is ditributed via ISO images).
I'm not running a dual boot system. I installed Vista on a new hard drive in my laptop. I do have XP Home installed on the old hard drive and that's why I'm able to say that XP copes with the 4GB and Vista doesn't.
