What's New and Changed in Build 5219 since beta1.


Recommended Posts

I prefer the look of that sidebar to the original one, which to be honest looked clunky and like an oversized, vertical taskbar.

no no you can't lose the side bar! it's like losing the talking pie! (in the movie of the robot who goes back in time for some reason) looks really cool... and darker than before! izlude like!

all those new add holy hell there is a spider on my screen (sorry was a good moment)

the new features sound really cool. and by bigger lddm support, does this possibly mean my radeon 9200 might get a chance at the glass?

I actually like it.

They finally made some of the smaller shell changes that are made to go with Aero. Beta 1's glass effect didn't look good because it was basically a transparent border around an XP style window. Now, they are starting to incorporate the smaller but very important details, like the Sidebar, which I really like.

I think Vista is going to be a success, since it's based on NT and because it shows major UX improvement for the end-user.

Yeah, I like it ! :D

Looks good so far!

Looking back on Beta 1 my only wish for - I call it Beta 1.5 for what it is - is support of the Lexmark P704 printer.

For the sidebar they should orient themselves to the sidebar in MSN 9.

That sidebar was great!

I think the sidebar is a huge improvment to what it was 2 years ago. Why is everyone complaining about the UI of Vista and the Sidebar. Microsoft is "trying" to make an OS the supports everyones needs. If you dont like use windows 2000 or turn of themes in Vista. I personally like what they have been doing. The sidebar has plenty of potential.

Sorry mods if this is against the rules but I heard there is a way to enable the sidebar in 5219...how is this done? Also how do you change the alt-tab effect from the 2d-scrolling to the 3d type?

It didn't exist, all sound was software produced with no hardware acceleration / directsound.
