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!!

" 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.

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.

    • Microsoft explains why PowerToys 0.100.0 is faster and slimmer, there are new features too

      Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This has been on the roadmap for years, nothing really new here. This is one of the few areas where Microsoft is making Windows better. Universal print is a very good things and so far works as expected. The last step is ending the option for 3rd parties to add traditional custom drivers. It is somewhat of a hurdle, but it is for a long-term good. The downside is that printer manufactures are likely going to use this as an excuse to force users onto new printers. Considering this roadmap has been public for years, then printers sold during that time should be covered...but I'm sure they will have a different opinion.
