Ok Install complete....working great so far. No issues. I won't be able to try to get onto the internet yet, because I am at work. Shut down was extremely fast. Getting to the welcome screen took a little while, but not worse than XP. Login was fast.

I'm going to install it on my 700m, also.

How does it look?

It looks great, and so far is working great. I had a bone stock 700m, and there are two items it doesn't find drivers for:

Mass Storage Controller

PCI Modem

It finds the display adapter....Integrated Intel Graphics.

It loads a default Monitor driver, Generic PnP Monitor.

It finds the NIC and internal Network card.

Sound works.

Ok so what folders are safe to delete?

I see it put something in there called boot, build, installed repsoitory, users, windows.old, and wmpub.

I assume users stays. I like that....better than documents and settings...etc etc etc...

Do I have to format the drive to install Vista? Im getting an error when I choose the disk and click continue

*shutters* I'd rather not talk about install issues with Vista. Which included me installing and re-installing the hard drive with different jumper settings 4 times and spending an hour on diskpart. Only to realize all I needed to do was start to install XP.

When I installed it, I had one drive, one partition. I was logged into winxp, I installed while I was in XP. It said there was a version of windows on this drive, and that it would put it into windows.old. I was like fine. I wanted to install it here like this anyway. I had no problems installing it over the current windows xp. Still running strong.

Has anybody found a way to create custom Virtual Folders?  Are the ones in there just a proof of concept?

I can't find a way to modify the existing ones or create my own.

One way I found is to go to search, search for something. It gives you the results. Then there is an organize button with a drop down. Click that and say save search. That allows you to create a custom view/virtual folder.

I've got it installed now but I've got a really bizzare problem is that it is very very laggy unless I give it something to do... eg a spyware scan or extracting some huge file.. I find this very odd as I don't remember this issue in the Alpha's.. I've installed the ATi driver and everything *appears* to be ok from that.. Tried installing the via drivers which it just ignored due to a version mismatch.

I've activated my newsgroup account but now I've got to wait 2 hours for it to go through before I can ask on there :(

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • 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.
