Aquafox Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 and boy is it good! I love the new maximise/minimise motions, and the glass effect toolbar. The thing is nVidia are lagging way behind with their forceware drivers, over ATI's Catalyst. The current forceware can't support the new effects, and keep causing errors for me such in D3D and Direct draw. Whereas ATI are much more closer to coming no.1 with high performance Vista Beta Drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooper Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I'm still waiting for my DVD to arrive...I'm excited too. What video card do you use? I use the ATI x800, so I think I'll be ok...just need to get the updated drivers first. It's my sound card I'm worried about :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a go :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGiantHead Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Lucky you. Do you think MS will ever issue a Vista Live CD, like those of various Linus distros? Also will MS distribute Beta 2 via CD or DVD or just download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I8PP Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If you're talking about the Beta 1 disc, that came to me ages ago lol... where do you live? The disc is plain, there's no design on it... just text. (logo) Windows Vista Professional for x86 Systems Beta 01 / Bootable on the first top half, the bottom half, the standard MS logo, copyright notice and the do not copy blurb. And i don't think public availability of any beta has yet been confirmed, so don't hold your breath. Feel free to prove me wrong :p. To the post below, there is no legit link to it because 1) beta 2 isn't released, 2) you need to be a tester. All other links are of course a no-no here.
