check it out guys, so far the RC1 has been going very nicely. No bugs found as of yet (by me personally) its very fast, and the color schemes and graphics are nicely done.

This is Windows Vista RC1, I was in on the beta 2 version so the key still works. The version is 5600. The coolest feature I found is the sleep mode. You put your PC to sleep and it completly shuts it down, then you press the power button again and your PC boots up in under 4 seconds. Very cool feature. (And when I mean boots up, I mean from being turned off to being logged in and ready to use the pc.)

i'm currently running Vista with a legit passkey right now but with a ton of viruses and spyware cuz it won't let me install Norton. i'm thinking of reformatting and trying this version out...

if you got a rapidshare premium account, it will take you 3-4 hours to download on hi-speed intranet

still a few driver issues, tried to install the video driver and it went black on me, seems to wanna boot off the cd still. i think ill go back to xp pro and wait til vista officially is out. just tried that sleep feature, that is awesome, well i got someone elses key and its only a 3 day one... too bad, back to xp and 10 second boots.

I have issues with my X1800XT being flased with a custom BIOS only with Vista, no matter if it is a install or PE. No other OS, XP, and a few distros of Linux have had issues.


Oh well.

heres my new setup, XP SP2 with vista transformation.

i cant wait for it to go rtm. its been a while since we had a new OS.

i have a strong feeling that visa's look and color scheme will get a drastic change when it hits the final version. they did the same thing when XP was still in beta.

Working the XP beta sucked.


Vista isn't really much better, but hopefully they will throw some bones our way and let some of us have a glimpse of what the retail will look like before it hits the shelves.


I gotta try out OOBE (out of box experiance) with Windows PE and then make it a build.

will an older key work for the newer vista?

im pretty sure you can do all those nifty things with linux, my cousin uses gentoo (spelling?) and he runs 4 or 6 desktops at a time that rotate on a 3D object, he can grab the edge of it with his mouse and spin it around, throw one onto another monitor, or even another PC!

linux is the ****. My friend is learning it on his laptop, and he always rides shotgun when ever we go driving around in the celica, and he just hotspots around and hacks into other peoples serves since there really isnt too much protection against linux. Or something like that. I really dont know how he does it, he just says that linux is the OS to use for hacking and not windows.

im learning (slowly) to use gnome based xubuntu on a slower box thats meant to just serve files. im having some difficulty installing the video driver and i need to mount my NTFS drive and install samba and set up all that stuff. its slowly coming to me, xubuntu runs pretty quick considering how slow of a machine it is. i got my dad to try ubuntu live cd on his machine, i think he likes it and will probably dual boot with XP when he reinstalls XP to his new faster hard drive.

anyone can try Vista RC1 - Microsoft is handing out beta keys & full dvd iso images on their site.

although, i'd recommend setting aside a seperate partition so you don't hose your existing XP setup. the cd key you get should last for 3 months or so. i've heard from a lot of various sources that this RC1 (which is after beta stage, sort of a 'wannabe retail' version) is more like a progressed beta, it's got some rough edges to it.

remember that you'll need vista compatible hardware, and drivers to get stuff to work right.
