Im using the MSDN x64 Vista ultimate image to test software, If i run the Problem Reports & Solutions tool its tells me to "Upgrade to the latest retail version" and then "

Upgrade to the latest retail version of Windows Vista

The problem was caused by Windows Vista, which was created by Microsoft Corporation. You are running a beta version of Windows Vista, which is no longer supported by Microsoft Corporation."

Has anyone else seen this?

Maybe it is a beta, if not then it is just a mistaken problem report.

Are you running a beta of SP1?

aim stupidly high, expect to fail often.
My MSDN Vista + SP1 said that yesterday. I just shook my head and tutted.

Except now I'm grumpy because I wanted to debug a crash, and windbg is complaining I'm using the wrong symbols.

Despite me downloading the Vista x86 + SP1 symbols which should be the right ones.

Grrr...

If you stumbled and fell down, it doesn't mean yet, that you're going in the wrong direction.
Oh! One more person have seen this! Me too. I was quite impressed by this message in "problems and solutions". I have MSDN Vista too.
