SPECIAL
Namronia provided some XP KN screenshots for my site.
But please, DONT ASK FOR THIS BUILD!, neither me or namronia.

Because this is considered warez

Yeah, but i think only a few have it.
I am saving for it now (just waiting until the end of the month when i have enough to buy it then i can also post english versions).

I also added the Professional Screenshots of the KN version made by me.

Luckie · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Jul 23, 2008 5:40 am

do you also need the K Edition of XP or the KN Edition of Server 2003?

Rob Jansen · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:28 am

I am making screenshots of the K Edition of XP (Home and Pro)
Also i am making screenshots of the N Edition of XP Pro

But i also still have access to technet subscription (thats because my keys are still active, but i cannot download anything yet)
But Server 2003 doesnt have K or N or KN Editions (Just checked).
Maybe you have a source that isnt on technet or just a converted one, but if its real, its greatly appriciated.

EDIT:
I have also layed my hands on the following version (screenhots in a few days/weeks)
Professional:
French
German
Italian
Spanish
Portugese-Brazil
Simplified Chinese
Japanese

But when i get my subscription, all languages in Home and Pro are added.
Also the English versions of K/KN/N (also dutch ones of N only).

I think those files would be warez, so I don't think that Andy allows me to upload them. If you have your private ftp, contact me via PM, so that I can upload them.

Rob Jansen · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sat Jul 26, 2008 6:37 pm

I have uploaded a few specials.

For people who runs DOS inside VPC 2007 who wants to add a CD-ROM Driver or just want to use older VPC VMAdditions.

ADDED:

NT4 Network Driver (Floppy)

I hope you dont mind me asking, but what is the Windows License Saver project?

Rob Jansen · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Sep 02, 2008 9:02 am

Well, the release of the beta build has been pusted to the end of the week (again, sounding like Microsoft now).

But its a project that you can enter license serials in a program.
I dont know really more but it works with a database and in later releases you can enter more information that you can find in my book.

Its not made by me but a friend of me who is learning to be a better developer (he is already good at this).

I only supply some space and in return he is making some edits to his original plans and make some extra's in the program for me.

EDIT:
And you can ask anything but no builds (thats where Betaarchive is for).

Also added new screenshots

zeehonden_3 · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Sep 02, 2008 7:05 pm

Are there some build you don't have pictures of? I can help you with that (if you want).

Or are there other thinks I can help you with?

Rob Jansen · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Tue Sep 02, 2008 7:15 pm

Apply to the forums to help me.
Its free.

I can use screenshots of early Windows Beta builds.
Like the NT's 3.x,4.x,5.x and Windows 3.x and 95/98/me beta's

Important information about the WLS project (Windows License Saver)

Walter from my forum wrote:

Due to the fact that i still go to school (following a Application developer education) there won't be a real release date for the program.

The program will be a very simple vb.net Application build in Visual Studio 2008. It will be compiled with dotnet framework 2 since 3.5 doesn't have much changes for me that i need since i use a Access database as back-end.

Why Access?
This is because I currently only know how to program it to use Access. Also I know how to program it using MySQL, but most users that will probably use this software won't know how to setup a MySQL server locally. And by using a Access DB you always carry the DB with you.

When the first beta will be released it will be posted in the forums.
I'm going to release a few beta's (2 or 3, depends on how many features it will get) until the final version.

Beta Features:

Beta 1 will have the following features:

Beta 2 will have the following features:

Beta 3 Features:
Not yet decided.

what does it do? Is it a program that can save the activation & key you have in a windows version, so the next time you install it, you have only to restore it?

Rob Jansen · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sat Sep 20, 2008 8:28 pm

A few new things:

1) Downloads for Windows 1.x DR5/Alpha
2) Windows 7 screenshots (unleaked M1 and M3)
