When I boot from cd, I can't even get to the point to do anything, Like I said, boot from DVD, goto windows loading files screen, then the longhorn boot screen and it freezes.

Is there any point where you can trigger a text-based install? Have you begun to explore the possibility of a network install? I'm assuming your desktop installed Vista fine?

So, from what I understand, you're not even making it to the welcome screen. Correct?

What brand system do you have exactly? I've had some weird problems trying to install this build, such as: I had Linux install on my laptop and figured I'd just blow it completely away, but it would do the exact same thing your saying. I used Acronis DiskDirector 9 and deleted the partitions and it worked just fine afterwards.

Vista seems to be rather choosy and i may have gotten lucky on this. A clean and newly partitioned drive using NTFS seems to pose the least problems as long as it was clean when installed. I am in the opposite position that i usually find myself in. This time a windows beta installed for me without a prob and I am trying to supply answers instead of hunting for them. I hope you will all bare with me as i try to help out as best i can. I am looking at all the angles i can to see if there is a common thread here and will stick with it as long as i can.

OK I just deleted the 2 partitions and going to start fresh. Installing XP pro oem on 1 partition, then going to install vista on the other. I had a dual boot with suse and mabey it did not clean up well after I removed it.

I was not able to even get to a welcome screen. It just freezes on the longhorn boot loading screen. It could be something funky going on with my partitions. When I loaded up under XP to start the install there, when I went to choose the partition to install to, it said not available on my empty partition. I assume that may be the problem, who knows, it is a beta after all.

I will let you know if it works or not.

Are u saying it doesn't support Ati cards yet?

I think they will be updating there drives themselves so we may see a CCC for .net 2.0 for vista and bugfixes.

The drivers currently in the OS do not have the CCC nor any opengl files.

So gaming is limited with them.

    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
