saxondale. Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 What is the difference between checked and unchecked? 586406063[/snapback] Im wanting to know that, i think it has been debugged (if its checked), can anyone confirm this?

I8PP Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Checked builds have extra debugging code in it. It runs slower as a result... Free builds don't. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....57a69ce.xml.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted August 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 29, 2005 Sign up to become a beta tester http://beta.microsoft.com/ & use the Guest ID BetaReq <-- that's the wrong site for signing up for the beta test anyways.. it's http://connect.microsoft.com oh btw there is so many dvds u gotta download for the beta testing. we got the normal Vista x86 and x64 builds along with all the check builds etc plus the windows longhorn sdk beta 1 has just came into play a few ago. 586402932[/snapback] you dont "have" to download all them, you just download what you want to test. At most a normal tester will be downloading one dvd per build, not all 8 or so of them that are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHammer Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Fake your age... :ninja: 586401128[/snapback] Why would he need to? Microsoft *has* had OS testers younger than 18 (in the Windows 95 beta, we had one tester who was all of *nine*, complete with his own beta ID). So he wouldn't necessarily have to fake anything. Actually, my *not* being in beta 1 just yet gives me a chance to shake down Windows Server R2. (Not the new features, but stability testing.)

PGHammer Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 well u cant 586404313[/snapback] You also don't have to. Microsoft does not have, nor have they ever had, a floor age for operating-system testing. Besides, *wake up and smell the Starbucks*, people: the largest group of new computer users aren't adults, but *students*, and not even college or high-school students. We're talking middle/junior-high and even elementary-school students. (And it's even more so *outside* the United States.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
