SO thats what the decided to call it afterall.. Well lets hope its better than the beta of Longhorn im currently using! ;)

[King Simba]

New windows system coming out then? I may upgrade although I'm not sure. :hmm:

[Sombolia]

Ah, cool :D So they decided to call it Vista? o_o Mmmhmm.

I think I'll stick with 2000 XD

[lion_roog]

If Windows Vista is as good as XP...I'll be sure to get it......I just hope it doesn't go the way of Windows ME..:gasp:....:D

[Daniel]

Windows Vista? WTF? it sounds like 'Blister'

Windows Blister - The new irritating OS from Microsof

Longhorn sounded a lot better

[ThiagoPE]

Windows Vista... A good name, i expect the OS be good as it name, because if it be as the windows XP.... i prefer to keep my old but working windows 2000

[Vidan]

Windows Vista sounds like a shady apartment complex. I wish Windows had the Mac OS naming scheme. (Big cats :cheese:)

[unregistered user]

Oooo...looks very interesting. Aren't you going to have more freedom to customize Windows with Vista? :thinks:

[SIMBAtheENIGMA]

*coughs* Service Pack 3 :lol:

Windows Vista Beta 1, the first "official" test version of the company's next operating system, is being released to software developers this morning.

Windows Vista is the first new operating system to be released in this new era of heightened security issues. Ultimately, it is expected to run on 9 out of 10 of the world's computers following its final release in late 2006.

[Kovu The Lion]

Ah I see, can i try out That Vista thing or do you have to register something XD....

[Fear The Paw]

Firefox Blows #1 The Lea Says IE, is more used than FireFox That Blocks some Active X controls, and FireFox is somewhat of a ram hoger.
AND HAS SECURITY FLAWS JUST LIKE IE SO NO CRAP.

[Lweek]

I'm downloading Vista as well, but will take me maybe a week during it's very hot good. :D

I installed IE7 on my XP system and works fine. It have better (close to Firefox) page rendering .. but it's new layout is very strange. If you are IE user, go on it's better than any other IE version, if not you do better don't install it. :D

[nafklt]

Awesome can I try it too Sonique? Looks so awesome! Thanks! :D:cool:

[unregistered user]

Here's a bittorrent site for some thirst-quenching needs.

http://www.mininova.org/

[Lweek]

Heh, I'm downloading Vista by Torrent for 5 days yet and I reached 50% :P

[unregistered user]

^ Damn, 5+ days. :lol:

It took me 3 days, that's still a bit of an overbearing timetable, but I believe it was worth the wait.

;)

*snivels* Precious .iso. :evilgrin:

[Lweek]

It's damn strange ... I'm uploading 15KB/s but dowloading about 2KB/s :(

Hmm.... strange. You should be getting a bit more tolerance than that. What program are you using, Lweek?

[Kiara Serengeti]

My family's computer has XP. My old bang-up has Win 95, a broken disc drive, and huge speakers. My dad won't get me a new computer 'til college--right now, I'm just 16.

[Lweek]

I used BitTorrent, TornadoTorrent and now I'm using G3 torrent.

[Lweek]

Kiara, I could give you better one. :) But price of post will be more than actual price of that I guess. :D

ABC would probably be one of the better ones.

You should be able to maximize your connection rate by adjusting the listening port(s) with calibration between -router and the bittorrent software.

[Lweek]

seems to be the same. :P

[Melody of Scar]

I'll stay with Windows XP. So many new systems... :eek:

I actually may be getting a Mac laptop soon! :cheese: No more Windows per moi! XD

[Simba '04]

blast :grrr: Vista is being a pain in the butt on my pc :eek:, 21837, how can I get Norton to be installed on Longhorn, or what Virus protection should I use?

[Lweek]

Yea, MAC OS X (especialy Tiger) is really good system. I have plan to get my own iMAC as well.

I don't know how Vista is acting like (it's why I do download it) but I guess it change to better till final release. Actualy I was active betatester of Windows XP and there changed many things till final release as well. Today is XP bestest Windows what MS made. If you turn certain things off. :) It's even better than Windows2000 in my opinion because if you did something wrong with drivers on W2k, you had no chance to repair that et cetera. 3D accelerated GIU is good step for Microsoft and I hope that many other system will follow this trend.

[ThiagoPE]

Lweek, are you alive? i thought you were abducted by alien after the EF11 huahuahuhauhauauhahu

Leting the jokes away, how much is the size (in Mbytes) of this windows vista?

[Lweek]

Over 2400 (2.4GB) .. reason is that it's probably include new true speech API. So you can very naturaly control you system by voice (computer should answer you by clear voice). But I don't know I have test it first before I will know why it is so big. It grove up about 1500 MB since last beta (which is only two months old) and I doubt it's not because manual. :)

[unregistered user]

@Lweek: As I said, it should maximize, but it also highly depends on the servers' as well. I would like to recommend a bittorrent accelerator. = )

@S'04: I recommend "Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)," perhaps this is not what exactly you're looking for, but anyway it can be obtained here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=321cd7a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en

[Lweek]

I tried Azureus .. and result is amaizing .. now I'm downloading about 15KB/s ..

[ThiagoPE]

Wow, 2,400 megabytes!!!! thats is very big....
I Think it will be released only in dvd ...

Well, now i will wait for the final release, i was thinking in try it but 2500 is a too much big download for me

[unregistered user]

I have Norton AntiVirus 2006 (Evaluation Version), but I can't seem to get it working correspondingly enough. But if you want to give it a whirl S'04; I can send it to ya, if you'd like.

[nafklt]

It took me 15:36 hours...:zzz: I boosted bittorrent by modifying some port fowarding thing in my router...now the stupid internet is slow but bittorrent is superfast...:hmm:

[unregistered user]

Question? Did anyone else have a sluggish installation of Vista Beta 1?

[Lweek]

downloaded and DVD burned *evil laught*
erm, but I have to wait next three days because I'm out of home. :P

[Lweek]

I don't know how long it took for me to download, I just starting downloading it one night and in the morning it was done ;)

i think it took like a half hour on my pc, so a little shorter than installing XP, it helps to have AMD 64 processor :)

[ThiagoPE]

may some one take out two doubts from my mind:
1) windows vista is also for home (gaming) use?
2) it will have a 32 bit version?

[Lweek]

answers
1) of course
2) sure it have, it have to be

[ThiagoPE]

Hum, Thanks for the answers Lweek.

Well, for me just wait its final release, if for a beta version it is 2,5 gb , i thinking how buch bigger it must be in its final version, and howm much cds it will have, hhuahuahuahuahua, 4, 5, 6?
In fact these things of disks remebered me the time of windows 3.11 (10 disketes) or 95 (13 disketes)

[nafklt]

Probably 3 and a half cds xD. And you can download the beta 32 bit version on the net, there quite a few on mininova...:P

[Lweek]

CDs are overdated .. DVD is new standard and BlueRay discs are comming to be sell worldwide soon. :)

Longhorn sounded a lot better

Hahaha dan, I agree with you. The name is terrible

I kinda liked "Longhorn" myself (as many probably did). But it had to be the code name instead. Hmm... yeah, Vista. That's a name that'll definitely have to grow on you.

[nafklt]

What's up with Bill and Whistler? If I remember correctly, the Win98 codename was Chicago or something. The Longhorn pub up there's probably havin' some good business nowadays...:P

ANyone heard o' those 4gb paper discs?

[Lweek]

Nope, but I heard (it could be three years ago) about IBM's small medium based on perforation (but more concentrate) which can take about 1TB on space same as postal stamp. :)

There are a 32 bit version to download?
You know where?

[Lweek]

That torrent link was for 32bit version.
But see minimal requirements: I think it was about 1Ghz, 512Mb ram, 256MB 3D Graphic card with support for Direct3D 9.0c.

[ThiagoPE]

wow *shocked*

I really thought that this 2,5 download was just for the 64 bit version!!!

Well, at least i have the minimal hardware requirement to run it, now is wait for the final release (would like to donload it, but 2,5 gb is much for me)

[nafklt]

LoL! I tried installing it on my 4gb hd but it said insufficient space! OSes these days, oy!:hehe: :P I guess I'll have to format my 120gb...:G

[Lweek]

Successfully installed ..
Instalation was simple but damn slow especialy when it is not show any concrete info about what it is doing.
First impression of system isn't bad .. it's more stabil than I expected .. look and feel isn't bad .. I like way what are windows animated during opening and closing windows. And I also like Voice control which is more accurate and global than before. :)

Try Avast! Home edition .. it's free and working fine. But I didn't test it under Vista yet, I will have to.
