Lamerz4391 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Installing now ... install routine looks the same as 5259 so far, with the addition of a blue back button at the top of a few screens. I don't think the blue arrow back button was in 5259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagamer34 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 1) XP didn't have CTPs 2) Broadband speeds were much slower back then. Most peopel got their betas through the mail. 3) Piracy didn't exist so much in 2000-2001 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most peopel got their betas through the mail. 3) Piracy didn't exist so much in 2000-2001 either. 1) right 2) wrong 3) wrong piracy has ALWAYS been there, it's just that back then not everyone and their dog knew where to get it (and it was alot better) as for broadband speeds, when i first got my connection it was about the same if not faster than it is now. then after a few years they caped it and made it slow (5mbits) and now they managed to bring it up a bit (7mbits) but still only around the same speed i used to get in 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckWEB Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Cable (comcast) Well, i'm home, on cable connection and I can't get any better than 300k/sec or slower with frequent drop to 50k/sec. I guess the servers are fully loaded... I will have to wait until tonight to install it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be harder. Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJerman Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 afaik, you can mount the ISO with DaemonTools and install it from Windows itself (for dual booting) :) Yes you can, but as I said in a previous post, it's too messy. I just have my laptop over break so I'm not gonna bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malisk Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 3) Piracy didn't exist so much in 2000-2001 either. :huh: I'm not inclined to agree here, but I agree about your other points, lack of bandwidth was probably among the most limiting factors for piracy.
