well here is my view on new build. (may be something of this was posted before, but 9 pages for non-english speaker is pretty much)

at begin i don't know how much of time it got for installation. i just run setup.exe, selected drive letter for installation and gone watching tv. after i came back pc was in stand by. i moved my mouse and logon screen appeared. after i clicked on administrator i got into desktop.

first i noticed is that dwn was working on my 6800. i opened info about video driver and found that vista installed me forceware lddm 75.04. i should say new forceware is much faster than 75.03. just 3-4 windows i could open without lags. now 8-10.

unfortunately vista still don't know asus p4p800 m/b. so i installed lan driver from support disc. and successfully. i didn't tryed to install sound drivers, nevertheless.

new network center looks pretty nice, but i didn't found any new special functionalities.

wmp11 is pretty nice. on really looks better than on screenshots. i like it.

explorer works alot faster now. it's opening folders with loading of icons almost immediately, intead of all older builds.

Flip 3D is on Win-Tab now, what is more situable.

IE looks few better than in 5219. there is icon with blank list appears when moving mouse over new tab. Rendering engine of IE beta 1 was very close to IE 6. Not now. Some sites is bugging now. I say only about acid2 test.... it looks much worse...

However I found new interesting feature (at least i didn't noticed it in 5219). Every tab in IE7 now have own keyboard layout. You can typing in English in one tab and in Russian in another without changing it. Addressbar have own layout as well. It seems to goes for entire system. Layout is now setting for container, not for enire process.

nah.. not worth the download... I will wait beta 2 ,....

:sleep: I'm so tired of reading worthless posts like this... no one cares that you're waiting until beta 2 :wacko:

Damn, why is it not on connect.microsoft.com yet. :ermm:

Talking about build 5231 :blink: Probably because they aren't ready to release it yet :unsure:

This build for me have a lot of bugs, but is working faster then 5219 and is also compattible with my old hadware, nforce2 chipset is work perfectly, ad/ware program too, WMP 11 is really nice to see, and also the new interface for network connection is valid (and is still beta!), i hope the next build is gone to be lighter, the only problem is this consume too many pc resourse, 720mb with just explorer and WMP11!!, too much, i think microsoft developer for vista are confuse, they think we want more expectacular destktop envoirement, ok probably in the rich countries yes, because people are money to buy new hadware, but most of pc users arround the world want , ligther OS, faster and saffety, with this OS microsoft, make more diferent betwen rich and poor...thats my point

Who cares how much memory it is using... it's in beta. Although it is using too much.

no no, i wasnt commenting about how much memory it was using, i was saying they updated that screen, it looks nice and gives more details under those categories

it was wierd i was going to install this build on to my computer and put it onto my second drive, but when i put the cd in and booted off the dvd did all the mombo jumbo, got to the part where it said what drive do you want to install this one and noticed my ide hd was repartitioned as one, so basically i lost all my **** cause well i dunno.

:angry:

but what are betas for anyways :)

am I the only one who thinks that rendering of fonts has improved ? I am going by screenshots. from WinHEC'05 to PDC'05 to this build, thereis noticeable improvement in it. :yes:

Yeah, things definately look nicer in Vista.

I think it's doing pretty good so far. They definately have a much better problem reporting system than they used to have, and that should help them fix bugs quickly.

Thanks for the quick review! (Y)

Damn, why is it not on connect.microsoft.com yet. :ermm:

586663976[/snapback]

because Microsoft already said they beta testers are getting a newer build then 5231... and it ill be towards the end of oct

but technically it is on connect right now... for TPA program people... that's the highest beta level... but you are probably tech beta which is in the middle...

it goes like

TPA, OEM, Techbeta, MSDN, technet

in that order for releases

I noticed its smaller than the previous

is it true that Microsoft announced somewhere that the final Vista will be samller than WindowsXP?

586667008[/snapback]

no way in heck will it be smaller, especially the installer

they are going to have 32bit and 64bit installer on the same DVD so the size when its done will take up pratically the whole DVD. Installed Vista will have a lot more included with it which will take up a lot lot more space, including a much larger driver database. It will definatly take up a lot more space then XP does

I would stay away from this leak, trust me, I blue screened everytime I shut down, ending up in a endless loop with the "windows errors" screen. couldn't get back to XP, even after editing boot.ini. The shutdown error always brought me back to vista

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
