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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.

      Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
