Anyone running a mobile willing to comment on performance (specifically how well the GUI functions on mobile gfx cards)?

I will be able to comment on that later on. I am installing x86 on my laptop and 64bit on my desktop.

We shall see.

I think he didn't know if Windows Future Storage had been implemented yet, and the answer to THAT question is it won't be in the shipping version of Vista but it will be shipped as an additional download.

After I read this article... I feel that Beta 2 will be WAYY better than Beta 1...

Beta 1 has already improved a lot since XP.. all I gotta say is:

"can't wait for PDC, can't wait for Beta 2...Vista will be MS biggest release since 95!!"

Well, I'm going to bed, I'll read in the morning how to enable Avalon on this beta ... I'm beginning to wonder if this is even in this beta!

I dunno I heard from somewhere that the whole fancy looking theme will be applied in beta 2. Beta 1 is only for devs so they didnt add the fancy crap just yet.

This is all I get to download, so it's work as usuall , I wish I had the time to screw with this cow some more. I know I will have to , but for now and my brief 480 hours or so with 4074, I DON'T LIKE IT-- But then I didnt like XP when they sprung that on us I was sold on 2000 Advanced Server, ( now how stupid is that??)

I wish they would just let us make some money with XP and leave it but , they must keep tortuing us to learn their new tricks. AS far as i can see its the same sh** just a different day. Thanks to our all-mighty F*** head Uncle Bill

BIG DEAL

and that hack into the reg,, the super fetch crap---- i dont think i am at all impressed,,,, so that aint it and if it is faster than 2003 server i have yet to see it

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
