Has anyone installed with VMware? I'm currently trying, and it's taking FOREVER to detect my computer's hardware, way longer than 10 minutes like it says, is that normal?

[corrosive23]

vmware wont work for me at all, im about to try it in virtual pc

Cool, let me know how it goes. Thanks! :)

[corrosive23]

i cant get it to work in either one, ive rebuilt the iso a few times and virtual pc and vmware both say no boot media, however when i burn it i can boot from the cd and start the install, but ive yet to install it on my other comp, mostly laziness. I will however get to it asap and post screenies and all that good stuff

:) Microsoft is releasing 7000 copies of Longhorn 4051 Monday Oct. 27 at the PDC, and is making trial copies available on-line starting in November -- prob. for 10 or 15 USD. So relax and forget about weird, obscure download sites and cracks. The CD is a fully working, stable copy of the new Longhorn, pre-beta. Another week you can buy Longhorn and Enjoy ! :D

Stable...? It's going to be same as the leak version :laugh:

It's alpha, it won't be stable for a while yet

Merged into a massive thread of fun.

Keep an eye out, the slides will be posted today :D Can't wait.

[Detroit]

does it have drivers for sound, video and stuff? :huh:

[TGD]

My video drivers were installed automatically. I had to install sound seperate.

[martymcfly]

having never delt with a dual boot system i have two questions...

1. if you install longhorn on a separate partition it wont affect win xp pro installed on another partition?

2. if you have two operating systems installed windows will detect both and let you chose which os you want to start?

[vjsz]

I really hope the Longhorn Msdn site will give us Usefull Info..And Some Aero Shots! :D

[fishie]

[TooPackShaker]

they're giving it out to hundreds of people today, and then releasing it online in the next month or two

we are all talking about our legit builds that we got at PDC, and you sir are the tool

:edit: boy this sucker takes a while to detect your hardware does it not

[Lexcyn]

Just a note... my Santa Cruz card wouldn't install in the PDC build... which means no sound. ;) I can't wait till the Beta builds come out. :)

FWIW, if you have the Turtle Beach 64 card...I downloaded the beta drivers and it worked okay. I'm not getting sound from my rear left/right channels...but at least I have sound.

Looks like Microsoft got smart. They know it's been leaked and would be leaked in the future so why not charge minimal amount for it and be able to control what people see. Nice job MS!

Does anyone know if it allows for you to connect toe the internet using a PPPoE DSL Connection? i got mine today and i really want to put it on my Laptop but if there is no internet connection there is no need for it then.

Oh? Where can I obtain such drivers? Hehe :happy:

[Paulstorm]
