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. :)

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.

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?

      RTD and Bad Wolf out Everybody lied, there was never a Christmas script done, even though they said there was RTD brought it back then killed it with the PC overload and garbage nonsensical stories Who knows what production company will want to drink from the poisoned chalice now. The squandered opportunity with the Disney partnership will go down in production folklore

      Problem with that is Vivaldi is the slowest chromium browser I have ever used. I keep trying it every few months in case performance has improved. ...and it's not due to specs or config. 5900x/32gigs/RTX3080 here, Win 11 25H2 etc.

      My only concern would be the state of the battery. I'd be getting one from a place you trust and perhaps has a decent warranty.

      Like yourself Steven P I have watched it from the days of William Hartnell, It was good when we had the Darlek's and the Cybermen. Sad to see one of the longest running shows in the world die a sad death.

      My problem with FF is I have to jump through hoops to get at least somewhat close to what Vivaldi gives me out of the box, with no real advantage that would make it worth my while. (But hey, apparently there's now at least experimental support for HDR in FF. I mean it's about a decade too late, but still...finally!) Brave I was never the least interested in, never saw the point, not to mention there's been quite a bit of drama surrounding them over the years. But I've been a faithful and very happy Opera user all the way back to 2001(ish), so once Vivaldi showed up following that awkward period of time after the key people left Opera and the company was sold, I never really looked back. And they never once made me question my choices.
