Thanx and also holy cow I guess this new operation system will not be a OS for gammers so much resources will be used for the OS and non for the game alone wow...

[Kev_Dawg]

Just installed it its a pretty cool OS new features they put the Apple animation features lik ewhen u close and open applications.

I'm actually using this as one of my production boxes now. I love to new look and fell of this new incarnation of Windows. :yup:

[Rukee]

is there a dnld link somewhere??

[-n7-]

Rukee, the Beta1 is avilable only to MSDN subscribers or people with other sources...

I made a thread here (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=38&threadid=1650125) on my impressions of Vista.
There's a crapload of screenies links & thoughts in there, etc.

Frankly, it was fun to try out, but i'm happy with XP, TBH.

I haven't even booted into Vista for over a month now.

Does it perform anything like the WinRG?? (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/winrg.php) :D

Hahaha nahhhhh they fixed LOTS OF bugs and probs with the OS so its good. The only 1 thing I dont know why isnt working is the msconfig when you enter it in the run prompt its weird. Either way the OS is cool and fun to use I like the new look almost looks like XP but better loving the transparent look.

Vista is okay...still a bit too buggy for my laptop hardware support though...

[Kev_Dawg]

I'm on it now I installed itunes and its a lil buggy it was stuttering I dont think its able to be runned on vista yet but winamp works just fine its odd...

I just installed it and so far I'm loving this. Any reason why I shouldnt use this as a main OS?

It's BETA. . . . I'm also using it as PROD on one of my machines. I have an XP machines as a backup, but I doubt I need it.

So does that mean the Vista is running rock solid for you? Im in a big want to change OS's...dont really like XP anymore and want to move on, thats why I ask if Vista is nice and somewhat stable for normal usage.

Yes, I have not encountered any issues as of yet. Normal day to day working like a charm. It's hard to go back to XP now with all the additional eye candy features in Vista. . . :rock:

TRUE THAT! :thumbs:

Alright, one last question. Im using the 32bit edition, how is the driver support going for you?

[Kev_Dawg]

I had windows vista but recently needed some HDD space

[Hawk]

TRUE THAT! :thumbs:

No issues as of yet on the drivers. :thumbs:

[Kev_Dawg]

I removed the OS but I might reinstall it soon..... I loved the animation that they added makes it feel like your using a Mac haha

[Kev_Dawg]

To your knowledge, are we heading towards a real requirement of a 7800 GTX and an FX 57 with 4 gig off memory to use this OS + Games that need say 2 gig of mem to fell spiffy. :scratch:


Yes. :yup: The OS does run on lower requirment hardware, but you loose the kewl video functionality. It's time to the CPU makers to step up to the plate and bring something new to the table. The graphic makers sure have. . . :rock:

[Rukee]

Now itll die...
haha
Much like the OS?! :chit:

[krazyndn411]

have you tried mininova? I think they have some torrents for Vista. They might be fakes though.
