Windows Vista Beta 1

[RightfulSpire]

dont like IE7...doesnt flow well with me..and of course fails the acid 2 test but that was no surprise. i hope they do alot more work with it or at least make it more customizable, wich i am sure they will. i aint complaing just puttin in my 2 cents

Sounds? Really? Ehrm ... I doubt Neowin would want me to copy the Vista sounds to somewhere public, but here's a screeny : http://gallery.damn.be/v/Desktop/vista/sounds.jpg.html

On the Connect site, where do we report bugs against IE7 on WinXP? I can't spot a feedback, submit bug or similar link on the connect site, but the beta instructions say to use the Connect site to submit bugs... am I missing something obvious or is the bug-reporting mechanism not yet in place on Connect for this program?

To report Bugs on the Connect site go to the Longhorn And IE7 home and scroll down to the articles. Click on View All, the second link on that page is bug reporting

Ehrm, we already know the answer to this! I won't share any of Vista's files with anybody .... Maybe Gates if he asks friendly ;)

I was uhh reading the "newspaper" today and there was an article on Vista Beta 1, however, somebody damaged about half of the article by tearing chunks out of the paper... It was the ONLY article I could find in the "newspaper" on Vista Beta 1, and it was talking about the DVD. Any information on the mysterious missing pieces from the paper? ;)

nothing is clickable :l

Does anyone has any idea how to enable that funcky new desktop look? With all the transparancy and everything?

Didn't that require DX9? Because in this copy only DX8.1 is installed ...

downloading longhorn vista beta 1 now 5 hours.............to.........go................

Mmm .. can't find how to enable that new flashy desktop ...

Oh, and DX9c is installed, but the Nvidia driver only reports DX8.1... Well, it's a beta ;)

But the overall feel of Vista is smooth ... I'm running it on a Northwood 3.2Ghz, 2 Gb PC3200 ram and a 6800GT AGP ... Sometimes it's a bit borky, but it's a beta afterall...

I modded my XP to be as minimalistic as possible, and that's a very big difference with this Vista, there are buttons everywhere, and you can access almost everything from virtually anywhere ... Will take a lot of time to get used to, or even much time to mod everything back to it's minimalistic form ...

Ok well, I am almost done downloading. Can anyone let me know how to enable the flashy desktop?

Thanks in advanced.

You make a new partition and then do a clean install of Vista. Not sure if you can upgrade but it's useless to for many reasons.... after testing it you can easily just keep the partition to install Beta 2 on or you can just delete it and merge the disk space with your primary partition again ;)

Hello, erm, this is Bill Gates and I have seemed to misplace the .wav files that play when you logon/logoff to Windows Vista and I will erm, send you 2 billion microbucks if you pm them to soypowered, my good friend, who will then pass them on to me, that would be fantastic!

Thanks!

I knoe you can revert back to Ie6 after an IE7 install worked fine for me

Strange, one of the screenshots look like its installing Internet Explorer on Windows 95.

heh, so it does. Actually that must be the end of the setup routine, so fancy graphics not been initialized yet.

Anyone running a mobile willing to comment on performance (specifically how well the GUI functions on mobile gfx cards)?
