If I have a MSDN Academic Alliance account do you think I can get Windows Vista?

I'm thinking no...as it's my school that decides what I have access to (and they do give us access to just about everything).

Hrmm, I got VB6 retail about 4 years ago and I remember there being some MSDN disk with it. Any chances I'm elgible to get Vista if I dig this up? Or is it just under the same name and my old VB6 with MSDN copy useless?

Oh well:

We usually do not offer beta software through the MSDNAA site. While it may be offered as part of the subscription, we wait until the release before posting it. If this is something you require, I think we can work something out. At this point, I have not even seen it in the listed MSDNAA software yet.
