![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Download Windows Vista Beta 2 LEGALLY and FREELY! Oh, god I can imagine how bad its gonna be right now. I remember when XP came out, and a guy I was stationed with in Japan downloaded it, it took about a week to DL. we were on dialup there though, and you got disconnected alot. but it was great to have XP right away, bugs and all! hehe. But anything was better than ME. ![]() ![]() |

Yay installed it First impressions weren't great, although it's Beta 2, so it's still a ways to go before the finished product. But darn, it took about an hour to install on my machine 2gb of ram, AMD FX55, 2 74gb 10krpm western digital drives in a raid array, Radeon X800 pro with 256mb of ram etc. Peformance was hella slow, I turned of Windows' "Aero" thing and it was a fair bit better Reliability was ....bad at best, it crashed twice when just doing general browsing through folders. Oh and it doesn't have a driver for my wireless card, doh ![]() ![]() Get your own personal forum Like these ones - Personal forum listing Bored @ work? Play in our arcade!

![]() | Re: Download Windows Vista Beta 2 LEGALLY and FREELY! Before downloading it. Get the compatablity checker for Visat Beta 2. Save yourself the headache. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...r/default.mspx BTW. I work at Ms. Not for them. But I work there. I am waiting till RC1 or RC2. Before I install the dang thing. I have a laptop I carry everywhere. Toshiba Tecra M1. 1.6 Centrino 1gb mem 120GB hdd. Everything works fine. I am able to install all drivers, using the Winxp ones. But the moment I install the Trident video driver. Poof the whole system goes down the tube.. Last edited by Kurgan; 9th June 2006 at 10:25 AM.. |
