Vista MSDN

I just got my January update from MSDN, with the final release of Vista. I flicked through and grabbed the ISOs disk and mounted them in a Virtual PC. After an hour or so of it chugging away going through each of the 4 ISOs, it pops up asking for Disk 5. I didn't see a disk 5, so I check again, no disk 5 there. I googled and found this on the MSDN subscribers blog.
We Goofed! As I was putting together today’s blog post, an alert subscriber emailed indicating that DVD 2429.5 from the January DVD media shipments is missing the CD ISO image for Windows Vista (English) - Disc 5. We’re in the process of correcting this on our end and anticipate sending an updated disc to affected DVD subscribers in the March 2007 shipment.
Argh! That's a wasted evening, admittedly I should have just used the DVD version, not the ISO disk, but I was in a hurry.

I see why you were using the ISO's as thats easy to do in virtual PC but you should be dual booting anyway.

The performance gain and trying the Aero interface alone is worth it.

:) If you could DualBoot :D
