Well a new version of LindowsOS was leaked to IRC today, so being the beta happy tester that I am, I quickly downloaded my copy and got that bad boy on a CD. I plugged in my spunky 4GB test HDD, popped in my shiny new LindowsOS CD, and rebooted.

Test Machine:

Well, read my sig :)

I was pleasently greated by this nice boot screen:

P1010001.JPG

About 5 minutes later, yes, you read that correctly, 5 minutes later, it started to load to my HDD. After about 2 minutes of loading, it shined this screen at me:

P1010003.JPG

Now I thought this was odd, considering it didn't really load all that much to my HDD, but being the optimist that I am, I gladly took out the CD and complied with a reboot. Upon rebooting, this is the screen I was welcomed with:

P1010004.JPG

Well, I know the typing is small down there at the bottom, but that is the good old "BOOT DISK FAILURE, PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER." Ugh.

Well being the do0b that I am, I did this. Inserted that damn LindowsOS CD, and went to town all over again, and you know what happend? The exact same thing. WooHoo.

On a side note:

Version: LindowsOS 0.90 Sneak Preview rc31

Build Info:

And it appears that you have to be running Windows2000 or ME in order to 'Experience a Sneak Preview,' so clean installs appear to be out of the question. Again, WooHoo.

i've seen it too but didn't get it cuz i didn't want to go thru the headache of formatting my system if it caused problems and all that since i'm running XP anyways... I would rather see SS of the GUI so take those instead! :)

so any images of the GUI?

I guess you guys have an inability to read, or perhaps I didn't make it as crystal clear as it appears I would have to in order for you guys to understand. At any rate, my post clearly says that I had no luck installing the damn thing...so that would mean that it would be impossible for me to get screenies of the GUI. Duh

Don't be so sure of yourself there,ISONEWS is perfectly legal, they only mention whats been leaked and the forums over there lock any discussion of where to find releases just like here.Also they take out serials from NFO's when posting....FYI,there forums are just like here rules-wise and most posts refer to gaming/other stuff.

      yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
