- whats changed???

#1.2 Posted by Betaz on 22 Sep 2006 - 18:00
- Not a whole lot that you'll notice. Everything is pretty much locked down now for the most part. They'll be adding some small things but primarily focusing on fixing the bugs and getting it all running smooth as Hurmoth mentioned.

- Can anyone explain why the x64 version is so much larger than the x86 version?

#2.1 Posted by jameswjrose on 22 Sep 2006 - 18:03
- Wel, because 64 is twice as large as 32
(sorry couldn't resist the obvious matt joke) -

1GB?? :| Wow. -
#2.5 Posted by HawkMan on 22 Sep 2006 - 18:35
- If I don't remember enitrely wrong I think it's mostly form more included drivers. but also partly from applicatiosn and stuff that exist as both 32 bit and 64 bit for compatibility. (like WMP and such)

- WTF? Do a little research before calling someone a spammer next time, pal.
"Dave Vronay, a research manager with the Windows User Experience Compliance team, says Microsoft is taking a lot of time to track down minor UI glitches - something it has never done before. "You can actually participate in this process by providing your feedback on the various pre-release versions of Vista we are putting out," says Vronay. The company is hosting a forum in which users can offer their rants and raves. You can also leave your thoughts below."

Welcome to shell:revealed, the home of the Windows Client team. We're the folks that build the core user interface for Windows
This has been linked to in the Vista threads on Neowin also. -

Spam? Do you even know who Rob Howard is?! Do a simple Google search to see how he's related to Microsoft (and most likely helping the shell:revealed team). -

I think the following direct link may be working:

I DO expect some thanks. :p -
#13.1 Posted by Julius Caro on 22 Sep 2006 - 23:41

#13.3 Posted by Nas on 23 Sep 2006 - 02:20
- Thanks... it's downloading.
Update:
Here are the links to utilize the Akamai Download Manager.
x86 = http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/r...CFRE_EN_DVD.iso

Here's an official Microsoft site for RC1 5728 x86:

#16.2 Posted by Hak Foo on 23 Sep 2006 - 18:01
- I tried fetching this last night, and it wasted 2.6G of my life... it downloaded then complained it failed the MD5sum. And then when I told it I didn't want to restart, it just up and deleted the ISO so I couldn't check manually.
Is this a common occurence? 5600-x64 transferred fine first time out.

I actually think Vista looks very promising by looking at those! I love the recovery features.

#21 Posted by bob0r on 23 Sep 2006 - 21:48
- - no more install errors
- onboard sound works
- the tilting windows thingy works again
- no crashes so far
This should have been the true RC1 build, but oh well progress = progress.
I would almost use Vista, too bad Mirc + SSL doesn't work
