Hi,

Can someone with an MSDNAA subscription can confirm that Vista RTM is
not yet available for us ? I can't find it

Thanks !
 
Hi,

If your subscription includes operating systems, then Vista is available to
you.

I Read The Following On Neowin.Net Last Night: RTM Is Still Not Available
To MSDNAA.

Em, Rick, not the case for MSDN AA. As an MSDN AA Administrator, I can
confirm that Vista is not available via MSDN AA downloads as of the posting.
I see it if I sign on with my personal MSDN subscription credentials, but
*not* when I sign on with my MSDN AA Administrator credentials.

Several admins have asked MSDN AA about Vista availability in advance of
RTM, and have received answers varying from "a few weeks after RTM" to
"after retail release". Time will tell...

A friend called MSDN france this afternoon. They told him that it should
be ok for tomorrow. Who knows !
 
Our MSDN AA Subscription includes no Vista or Office 2007 apps (we have XP
and Visio/Project/FP 2003 though).

While I am very pleased that MS understands the benefit to them for offering
the MSDNAA program, the administration of it as well as of the e-academy web
site leaves a lot to be desired. No one at MS ever seems to know if or when
a title will be available for us to access. And the e-academy site usually
takes several months before it catches up with new titles, etc....

Up until a couple days ago my MSDNAA downloads included a Vista section that
listed the beta & two RC versions. But today it is gone and no Vista section
exists at all.

FYI - Office has never been included in MSDNAA (although some of the Office
add on titles have been, i.e. Access, Visio, etc..)

As another poster said, time will tell....

I don't know where you are getting your information, but it makes sense in
the context of what MSDN AA is supposed to be about. Departments with MSDN
AA memberships are in the last three weeks of the fall term, hardly a time
to be installing new operating systems and/or applications on classroom or
lab computers. The student beneficiaries of MSDN AA, even though they might
*want* Vista, Visio 2007, etc, now, wont need it for "academic and academic
research" purposes until the Spring 2007 term begins, at the earliest.

It was passed on to our site from Microsoft, it would seem strange to
have it installed on machines during this time of term
