I've had my "ups and downs' with it. Seems to be taking forever.... if you know what I mean.

thing is, everything "looks" better, better utilization of the gpu and cpu, audio is way better than any xp
experience i have had (using onboard audio), superfetch does just that, all my drivers out of the box...kinda like a cool linux distro, except it looks better, and media playback/duplication is happening. heck, what did i miss? oh, the price...well, i'll run the rc2 til can get an oem, or the like. price will go down...

I am really looking forward to the Vista. It is about time that Windows updated. I personally think that Vista looks more Mac or Linux like IMHO.

I finaly installed RC2 last night, so far it hasn't crashed or sqealed like a pig when you try to intall av. Haven't tryed any other apps as yet. RC1, wouldn't hardly let you install any app that remotely looked like it had an driver included.

The install tooke longer than Bet2 or RC1, but not by much. You still have to turn that UAC off to get anything down without vista asking evrytime you hit the enter key.

Well, of course after long time talking about Vista and so many tested builds i dont have the same enthusiasm, but anyway i still cant avoid testing every new build i get . Vista is comming to stay !

Here is some more "hype" about Vista and it doesn't sound too wonderful. The article concerns Vista Anti Piracy and WGA. Things are changing...a lot. In the forth paragraph look for the word "considered". I really don't like the tone of that. Take a look and see what you think...talker. :smoke:


Vista and Anti Piracy and WGA

[m.oreilly]

i think that that is the state of affairs these days, if you use/purchase any "popular" OS. thank god for linux

[talker]

The problem that I have is what are the criteria that are "considered"? What makes this even more frightfull is that my RC2 x64 (5744) that I activated as soon as it was installed, just gave me a tray icon that, when I hovered over it, said I needed to activate Windows. I did (again) and it thanked me for doing so. What if this had been a production system that had been "considered" a pirate copy and went non-functional? Yeah, I know, I could have called MS and hopefully taken care of it but that should not be necessary. Not to mention the loss of productivity. Remember, in another topic, I said I had a gut feeling about Vista that something was hidden and all is not as it is shown or said to be. Perhaps this is the first of many underlying things that will begin to emerge as the RTM gets closer. We shall see...talker. :smoke:

I agree, I like the glass but I could care less about the O/S as a whole, I have not noticed any improvements in the builds I have tried, they do what I want an that is good, however they take up more resources, time, an eventually more money, I have used the vista transformation pack that gave me the glass, with xp and I like that. but I got bored of it, so I dont use it any longer.

With the signed driver requirement, I have a feeling programs like AnyDVD and Alcohol may become history. That why I have stated x64 will probably be the last great OS.
