How would that work, seeing that each key are unique to beta testers? Unless someone already cracked it. :/

The Longhorn activation wont be unless they have some special thing in it to make it not accept the Longhorn key... but how is that possible

I was referring to the people who are posting in here about keygens, cracks and trying to find it on otherwise "reputable" sites.

Lol, I was posting about them.

I just wanted to warn some not-so-experienced people who might just think "oh, here is my beloved p2p app. i am sure they will have the vista before neowinians. i will be the first to download and show them who is the real noob" and get their system ruined.

i am sure that nearly everyone, including myself, knows that those stuff on the p2p networks are pure.. bad. :)

My connect, nothing so available programs no invites. This means im f%$%$ doesn't it?

I hope people were not thinknig signing up for connect would get you an invite. All that does is link your email to the passport for connect. It will NOT get you an invite, nor will it make you a MS beta tester.

You have to go beta.microsoft.com, link your passport to that site, then use guest ID BetaReq. (betareq, Betareq... one of those it's case sensitive) THEN apply to test Longhorn. Though you would be better off applying for a lesser beta. Usually only established beta testers with good history get on windows tests early on.

does anyone know if intel extreme graphics 2 will support aero effects?  i really hope so, i just bought a new dell 700m.  hopefully it will.

Not bloody likely. Any integrated video card is by default junk.

This conversation took place a while ago between myself and the guy with the folded arms and the "smirk-on-face" (SOF) on connect.

SOF: Dude, this is the 71st time you logged onto Connect today!

Me: At least you can count!

SOF: There goes your chances of testing Win VI Beta 1.

Me: Get lost. Hey, and make yourself usefull. Write some codes or something. Or you could help with the invites at least. Because of people like you, I have to wait a month just to get my Vista invitation. Am tired of staring at your ugly *ss!

no it will not run...it requires a minimum 64MB RFX card that do Direct X9...

does intel extreme graphics 2 support Direct X9?

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
