Being leaked as we speak at specific bittorent sites.  Can't confirm if legit or not!

What part of no warez talk on NeoWin do you not understand? If people are half smart they can find things for themselves without you spreading crap everywhere.

Well I got Vista installed, took about 25 minutes or so to install Clean and I installed it from an image mounted on a Virtual DVD drive in Alcohol 120% onto a seperate HDD. Went off without a hitch.  Just starting to tinker with it now. More later.

Oh Goody !! I can't wait. Is it slow and stupid? Or is it just me? Maybe , if I got a P4- 4 Ghz processor it would help? Noooooooooooooooooooo, Oh No Mr. Bill!!

"It will only take 32 meg's of RAM to run the New Windows Operating systems "

" So the price cost to the consumer will be driven down even less" Quote --Bill Gates--- 1996--- sidenote---- Do you think he controls hardware prices so much that he MADE his prediction come true, or is he not really the antichrist?-- Spank me if Im wrong but any OS from MS I have seen running XP MUST have at least 128 k available RAM or it freezes,, or just goes slow like a x286 ... or simular,, something like that ,, sure , sure ,,sure!! Shut up JD. OK.

Anyone having problem with a 6600GT AGP? I read the install notes saying how X700 and X800XL might have problems because PCI-E and AGP have same ID...does that mean it's the same deal with nVidia cards? My problem rite now is that it just freezes after the second restart at the boot manager...

Well, I can't get it to install on my P4 2.8 laptop. Just freezes at the boot logo and does nothing.

(Y) Thanks for the report... good luck getting it going :)

Odd that it wouldn't display an error message of some kind :unsure:

Chill out there Josh. Just wanted to point out that there must be testers out there leaking which is sad and unfortunate because allot of guys wanted to be part of this beta and didn't get invites. Bittorent is not warez as MS used it to provide SP2 in its early release. Beta 1 is also not warez sorry to burst your bubble.

I'm having major install problems.  See basically I didn't have anything on the hard drive.  It wasn't formatted or anything.  I went to install and was having problems when I had to pick the drive.  In the readme, it said you couldn't install on a raw HD and to open up diskpart and create a partition.  So I tried to and diskpart keeps running me in circles.  It says to create a partition it needs a volume, to create a volume it needs to be basic, to partition it needs to be dynamic, to install windows it needs to be Basic.  It's a never ending circle.  Can anyone help?

I would just try formatting it with an XP CD. See if that works.

Ever wondered where those code names came from or who really controls the company?? Now , thats out-- WHEW-- I thought I could never keep that secret,, OH I forgot -- if you want Bill to talk to you -- just put "tweet- tweet" in the subject and he might answer you ,, and

    • 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?
