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.

Good point, but I as well would LOVE to hear some new sounds, can you ask or can a mod say something about the matter?

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

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By sphbecker · Posted

      As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the format of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO.

A browser based on the Blink engine (same in Chrome and Chromium) that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you. Vivaldi is produced with love by a founding team of browser pioneers, including former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, who co-founded and led Opera Software. Vivaldi’s interface is very customizable. Vivaldi combines simplicity and fashion to create a basic, highly customizable interface that provides everything a internet user could need. The browser allows users to customize the appearance of UI elements such as background color, overall theme, address bar and tab positioning, and start pages. Vivaldi features the ability to "stack" and "tile" tabs, annotate web pages, add notes to bookmarks and much more. Vivaldi 8.0.4033.46 fixes: [Chromium] Update to 148.0.7778.263 ESR (includes security fixes from 149.0.7827.102/103) Download: Vivaldi 64-bit | 139.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Vivaldi 32-bit | ARM64 View: Vivaldi Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.
