Vista RC1, yes its legal and legit Options

[bloodrain]

check it out guys, so far the RC1 has been going very nicely. No bugs found as of yet (by me personally) its very fast, and the color schemes and graphics are nicely done.

[Akira_g4]

[Supersprynt]

How do we go about tryin this out?
Iv been wanting to try it, but unless u got a key it only lasts like 7 days.
It looks so sweet.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammnn

So gimmicky.

It's nice to see that Windows is finally catching up to Mac

[LewFX]

macs still suck...overpriced and still crashes like windows!

This is Windows Vista RC1, I was in on the beta 2 version so the key still works. The version is 5600. The coolest feature I found is the sleep mode. You put your PC to sleep and it completly shuts it down, then you press the power button again and your PC boots up in under 4 seconds. Very cool feature. (And when I mean boots up, I mean from being turned off to being logged in and ready to use the pc.)

where can i get it?
i'm currently running Vista with a legit passkey right now but with a ton of viruses and spyware cuz it won't let me install Norton. i'm thinking of reformatting and trying this version out...

[LewFX]

i just installed the same version 5600 Ultimate RC1...so far its nice.

if you got a rapidshare premium account, it will take you 3-4 hours to download on hi-speed intranet

[LewFX]

still a few driver issues, tried to install the video driver and it went black on me, seems to wanna boot off the cd still. i think ill go back to xp pro and wait til vista officially is out. just tried that sleep feature, that is awesome, well i got someone elses key and its only a 3 day one... too bad, back to xp and 10 second boots.

I have issues with my X1800XT being flased with a custom BIOS only with Vista, no matter if it is a install or PE. No other OS, XP, and a few distros of Linux have had issues.


Oh well.

[LewFX]

heres my new setup, XP SP2 with vista transformation.

[lagos]

i cant wait for it to go rtm. its been a while since we had a new OS.

i have a strong feeling that visa's look and color scheme will get a drastic change when it hits the final version. they did the same thing when XP was still in beta.
