well you can forget cd-rs AND cd-rws.
the size of vista runs in excess of 3gb so you aint gonna get it on a 700mb disc no matter what you do with the downloaded files. you will need at least a blank dvd-r to burn it to.
vista should only be installed if you want to try it and you've backups of everything on your pc because it will wipe your hard drive when it installs - plus because it's only beta and requires activation so it won't 'expire' it cannot really be used as your main operating system for any amount of time.

It comes on a CD-rom, you cannot download it, you have to buy it, or a computer that has it for the OS.

I installed the Beta version also, listen to what 'cuite' has to say, she had the same experience as me. Give her your vote!
