Windows Vista Beta Testing - What you think about it

Jul 30 2005, 10:18 PM
I allready tryed new OS "Windows Vista" beta. Did you ? Tell us what you think about it.
Here's what I think. Yee new style looks very nice:transparent windows,new minimize maximaze and close buttons shape and style,new explorer structure,new "start" swystem and afcourse new icons
Like i sayd style is great but there is and many problems with drivers allmost all my devices ware unknowed so I event couldn't connect to the internet
And there is and one more bad thing. This OS eats to much computer recourses. My PC is not weak(1024 Ram, 3GHZ AMD proccesor, Radeon X800 video card) and it still is noe enouth "Task menneger" trafic allways was green to the top.
Final word I think I will wayt for full working version of "Vista" and till then I will keep use old XP
Not that I'm not trusting you, but Windows Vista is currently only available to MSDN developers. I would think a MSDN developer would have better spelling skills and wouldn't exactly have free hosting here.
whyme you don't believe that I allready tryed windows "vista' beta. You think I am layer? Afcourse i am not member of msn developers but I don't lay I realy tryed. I don't know how but my father downloaded it from some ftp
Whoever tried Beta1, let me tell you what Beta 1 in Microsoft means. BETA1 is testing out the basic components and overall structure of the software. No special features, extremly buggy, and unstable to the point where it's like running windows '98 with a ton of DLL's missing.
The Windows Vista Skin is not going to stay the same. There is already more advanced designs that will go into the final version. This skin is used because it's simple... infact if you analize the code, you will see the skin system is the same as windows xp...
Vista Beta1 has already changed 32 times since the release... Beta2 is when you should download it.
If you are reading this, don't bother geting Vista beta1. Wait until 2, because then you can see what vista really has to offer and why it's going to be much faster and much more "simple, yet cuttingly a sense of hi-tech creativity".
nice anagram of vista hmmm i would try but not going to like, but yeah like everyone else going to wait this system out so how well it fares, i think the problem microsft has is that htier employees are doing illegal stuff remember microsoft gets all of its named brand computers made over seas and thus virus central, bill gates got to love the man for trying to make money the easy way, by screwing us over.
Whyme you are wrong about that. There are chosen people that are picked when you sign up from some site and they get to beta test Microsoft Vista Beta 1 for free. The release is supposed to be Tomorrow as in August 3rd. But MSDN people can get it early. So you are half right about him not being a MSDN tester and stole it from bittorent, or P2P software. I also think he stole it too, but hey thats how some people are... But I would wait until BETA 2 comes out. It will be a way better release. But Internet Explorer 7.0 beta is something to try. Its pretty stable and most sites support it! Well thats all i have to comment on Vista. So take my advice wait til Beta 2 to steal it if you have to but this release, its just not worth it.
I dislike it when people bash windows, but don't provide any backup to there statement. It seems like blind thrashing to me. If you've tryed the final release it's awsome. It's not as "buggy" as people say it is. But seeing as how beta is done and over with, and the final is out, I'm closing this thread. Please feel free to make a new topic in regards to the final release.
My computer is 8 years old. I've had a grand total of less then 10 viruses. The most common cause of viruses is porn, so unless you plan on looking up porn 24/7 you really don't have much to worry about. It all depends on what you do. And if you need to look at it, bad enough, don't bash windows, just get a Mac.
Not that I'm not trusting you, but Windows Vista is currently only available to MSDN developers. I would think a MSDN developer would have better spelling skills and wouldn't exactly have free hosting here.
I'm just skeptical, don't mind me. Anyways, Vista stands for:
Viruses. Instability. Spyware. Trojans. Adware.
Get Mac OS X Tiger.
P.S. Moved your topic.
That a great definition Viruses. Instability. Spyware. Trojans. Adware. I am totally agree with this definition....hahaha
Yea man, I test drove Windows Vista Beta myself and I have about the same thing to say About the OS. Right now, I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and guess what man? The OS is dealing with my hardwares. It aint like I have a weak computer though (Intel ® Pentium ™ 4 630 HT 3.40GHz w/2MB OnDie Cache, 1GB DDR2 5300, 400GB HDD space, nVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE w/256MB video memory), but still that aint enough for the OS.
I know that I never had any problems with Win XP performance wise but Windows Vista Ultimate is something else altogether. Ok, I would say the Microsoft really tried where the Windows Aero Graphics effect was concerned but they oughta have thought about the kinda machines that would run the OS.
I read a review the other day which stated that up to 50% of US business machines cant run Windows Vista. Well, if you aint got a high (rugged) performance computer and graphics card, dont think about Win Vista.
The two problems I think Microsoft will have, in terms of Vista's sales when it is first released is that the previous gaps of Windows had a very short gap between hte next release. There's been a huge gap between the release of XP and Vista, so during that period, most people have gone up to XP and are quite happy with it. They'll be thinking, "why should I upgrade when the OS I have now does everything I need?"
The other problem, is that there are few programs which are really memory/cpu intensive. Not many pieces of software (im specifically excluding pc games here btw) fully take advantage of your "brand new Dell XPS" I reckon that with a 1.5ghz 512mb ram pc, you could run just about every program the standard home user needs to run, without any problems, so the home user might be thinking "Why upgrade to Vista or buy a new pc when my current one does everything I need?"
Vista will have a slow takeup but most computers will be probably running it by 2009. Fortunately, Vienna isn't scheduled for release untill 2011, giving Vista plenty of time to gain popularity.
This is not a Win/Linux/Mac dispute, rather pointing out a few minor things that I find really
annoying in Windows OS and I'd rather change if I had the chance/knowledge (disclaimer: I mainly
refer to winxp but I've used almost all other versions, I have some experience with Linux and
almost never used a Mac OS) copying/moving files: ever tried to copy a folder containing one or
more corrupted files? if I were the OS I'd just skip those and copy the good ones, then prompt a
message "file x, y, z were not copied we're sorry for the inconvenience caused".....
Has anyone actually been satisfied with the release of SP1 for Vista? Does it solve the problems
that we've all griped about? Overview of Windows Vista SP1 From what I'm reading
from that document, I'm actually surprised, appalled, and in a way, now wondering if Vista can
actually be an upgrade. I laughed at: QUOTE Enhances support for high-definition (HD)
drives by adding new icons and labels that identify HD-DVD and Blu-ray drives as HD drives.
That's awesome. I never knew the HD drive that I bought was an HD until SP1. /rolleye....

I hear a lot of people talk about how bad Vista is, and how its gltichy and buggy and programs dont
work... But can somebody please go into detail? Ive been using Vista for almost a year and I havent
had any problems of the sort. In fact, I prefer it over my xp. Could it be that those who havent
tried it personally, don't like it? They have just heard horror stories? Or is it that somebody
had a bad experience and then spreads those stories until it gets to the point where some people
think vista doesnt even run properly? Vista came built on my laptop, then I swapp....
Well I have been thinking about building a new gaming rig pretty soon and I will be able to spend a
bit more than usual because I already have the essentials( Mouse, Keyboard, Printer, Monitor) but I
have a questions about Vista. I have a nice HP dv9000 laptop that I have had for a couple months
that came with Windows Vista Home Premium. Now what I want to know is there anyway that I can
somehow get that onto a new machine I build as long as I take it off the laptop? I mean I bought the
laptop and if it comes with Vista, or any OS for that matter, I am purchasing the li....

Well after a week delay because of some conflict Microsoft finally releases XP SP3, and at a
whopping 342MB plan to wait awhile to get this bad boy downloaded. I had downloaded it from another
site, legally of course and to be honest I did not see any improvement whatsoever on my computer,
and so if you don't care one way or another about it make sure to disable your automatic updates
or deselect it from the options when you want to update your computer. That is my experience with
SP3 it wasn't to earth shattering but who knows for those with older computers it....
Iam the user of Windows Vista. I gone with Vista because of unavailability of other options. Windows

I found this interesting article the other day and I was looking at the programs that were mentioned
and I have to say that some of them I agree with and some I disagree with, and I try to explain what
I like and don't like. QUOTE 1. Expose Available on: Mac It's an elegantly simple
idea, and it has been available on the Mac since 2003. When you want a clear view of all the
application windows that are open at any one time, you just press F3, and a ittle feature called

Well, a new Windows has been announced. This is going to be the one after Vista. The name Windows

I've heard this: Windows Vista is more Invulnerable to viruses, trojans, hacks, and more. And
I've heard this one: Windows Vista is not compatible on most Hardwares and softwares, and
Windows Vista isn't more invulnerable to viruses. Which one is right..? Thanks for your
postings....

I'm currently saving up for a laptop for several purposes. One of these is gaming and another is

C:\Windows\winsxs or Click My Computer > C:\\ > Windows > winsxs. For the few
vista users that are on here on the forum, do wonder why your hard driver seems to be shrinking even
though you know darn well all the stuff you have installed hasn't blown through gigs of space?
Well I did because at first I though it had to do with a memory issue that SP1 was suppose to fix,
but after running the Disk Analyzer to Glary Ultilities I finally found the culprit as why this was
happening. So after doing a little bit of research thanks to google I found s....
I believe everyone in this forum knows what a file system means and that every windows user knows
what FAT and NTFS means so I am not gonna start going into those. Well, the NTFS (Windows NT file
system) offers a few advantages over the good ol' FAT (File allocation table) file system one of
which is the files and folders compression. This I have done quite a number of times to save disc
space (and it really does save some disc space). i am using my computer as an example here. Consider
my 35GB partition which is carrying my Windows Vista Operating sys and has less ....
How to install Microsoft Windows XP automatically As you know, during installing Microsoft
Windows XP, setup asks you several questions about your installation drive, windows serial number,
your language, administrator password, local time zone and … . So that you should sit and answer
above questions. But there is a small tool in Microsoft Windows CD , let's you answer these
questions before installing Windows. 1- Put Windows XP CD/DVD in the CD/DVD in your CD/DVD ROM and
go to following folder: X:\Support\tools\ 2- Copy deploy.cab in your Hard Dr....

Ok, so I've done some looking around trying to see if it's possible I could dual-boot my pc
with Windows XP Home and Vista Ultimate Edition (x64). Well, I know it's possible, but I'm
not understanding many guides I read because many people have mentioned assorted stuff like
requiring two hard drives (I only have one 250GB one), and other assorted stuff like software
I'd need to supply certain space to the two separate partitions. I was thinking of making my
Windows XP be more of the serious partition, and having Vista be the more media-centered one, ....
Before i start i want to make sure you understand this is not a what OS is better this is a what is

i'm slightly confused on it. Will it mess my computer up if i install it, dont like it, and
uninstall it? OK on with the topic. I own a Mac and work on one for many hours a day, but had
always used a Windows based system since well i was 5 and i remember my father using DOS to run Duke

GUI or you views on it. Please Reply Thank You....
