NeoMasamune Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 What do you expect? It's only in alpha stage. Wait until the betas come out before you can make a sound judgement. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTallack Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 It's an ALPHA. not beta, not finished product. not something the end user is ever supposed to get. expecting it to work properly is like expecting a car with no engine to run. It's not finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted January 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2004 I agree with the above two posters. It is a "work in progress". Are you a beta-tester? If so, then your comments go to MICROSOFT, and have no business here (I would wager it is against the terms of acceptance for beta-testers, anyhow). How else will Microsoft address open issues? Did you illegally download it or otherwise obtain a copy of it? If so, then you should not advertise this fact. Even if it were a finished product, then if you have problems with the "bloat" of too many services, then disable them. But, please stop whining.

iMonkey Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 FFS stop whining - if you don't like it go back to linux, where you don't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redvamp128 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 well I could say the same thing about a few linux alpha's I have installed and tested... a few would boot to KDE just fine but booting to Gnome would crash- Go figure that one out (making the refernce point of going from LH style to Classic Look)....

Knight' Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 well I could say the same thing about a few linux alpha's I have installed and tested... a few would boot to KDE just fine but booting to Gnome would crash- Go figure that one out (making the refernce point of going from LH style to Classic Look).... Remember, in LH all he was doing was changing a theme not a whole window manager :rolleyes: Personally I don't see the big deal about LH by the time it comes out i'm going to switch fully to Linux.

redvamp128 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 (edited) Same applies to the changing themes- The winow metrics is what MS calls it. (that basically means the dimesions and size and functions of point clicks as well as graphical structured models)(THE USER INTERFACE) which in linux would be the same as window manager And like a few others have said- It is an alpha- Depending on which release you have it is quite stable-and the PDC release is supposed to be a release where developers can Tweak/Create drivers and applications. It is used to test applictions to see how they react to the new OS and report problems. The networking issues I belive if you google it there is a guide as well as a (unsuported by Microsoft) fix for network stack issue- and it has the more impoved firewall (have you configured that yet) could be blocking local network access. What surpsises me more is that MS has even showed us this stage of development- Come to think about it- this is 2004- We have heard release dates ranging from as early as 2006 and as late as 2008 for release. Depending on where you get your news from. Even at the earliest That still leaves a year for alpha tests (internal) and a year for beta testing. That is just going on a sensible testing time frame based on the 2006 being the earliest release date.

redvamp128 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I remember back in the days when IBM AT/XT- Apple was a green screen- Commodore A model (a build it yourself kit) Can still remember using dos/unix/linux while they were still only a prompt- The main thing to remember about this - It is a work in progress- Also have friends who made the change over from dotted card readers to analog output for number crunching to primitive vacume tube green display simlar to alarm clocks.
