Sweet.

off topic: I Recived the vista BETA 2 DVD's through the CPP. will i be able to get the RC1 on a DVD. or will i have to download it?

[.Joa]

you'll be able to get it on DVD :)

[Commodore Max]

Yeah, it's NOT vector Aero (a myth as far as we're concerned), but it's faster.

A myth ? ... Perhaps ... But it's never been proved wrong ...

Anyways yeah I'll be downloading this tonight ...

[xxdesmus]

New pointers folks. I ain't uploading them... someone else who feels like distributing them can ;)

hot damn that is sexy! :woot:

2.25 hours left :cry:

[Tech_Dude_5000]

hot damn that is sexy! :woot:

:laugh: i agree :laugh:

[Commodore Max]

At last new cursors ! That's probably one of those little feature's I'll enjoy best ... :p

[AQUaDeX]

The new build comes with a new mouse pointer set (finally), it's called Windows Aero...

[embj]

How fast is it coming in for everybody? I can't get more than 50-60 KB/s. The new timer thing for the mouse looks good...just like what's in IE 7 and in the Vista Speech Recognition.

I'm looking forward to trying out the new build, but I just wish it would hurry up! 18 hours just to download x64!

looks like flip 3d finally has AA too...looks good :D

edit: at least on my part...with only like 2 or 3 windows open...but it's an improvement nevertheless

Ah, about time!

Seems like quite a big changelog from 5384 (Y)

[t3homni]

The arrowhead seems a bit too big for the tail... Still looks nice, though.

[Tech_Dude_5000]

Looks sexy! :woot:

about time they updated the damn cursors

[Digitalx]

hmmm might have to get my hands on this

[AQUaDeX]

Actually someone else beat me to it, anyways, those are beautiful :)

Just so to let people know, you can install this build with the public preview keys...

[WisdomWolf]

yes, but can you activate it?

[AQUaDeX]

Question: Can you "update" from 5384 to 5456 without loosing personal settings / data etc or does this require a clean install?

Actually you can, you can upgrade to this build from Beta 2, but notice you will not be able to upgrade from this build to any other future builds or the RC1.

yes, but can you activate it?

Yes

[WisdomWolf]

Thanks for the quick response. I'm sure that answers a lot of peoples questions. Now if only I wasn't stuck at work for another 2 hours. :(

[P!P]

Maybe it's just me but the install seems to be going really fast.

[Pootis Spencer]

Are the public beta 2 keys able to give us the ultimate edition?

[M118LR]

Are the public beta 2 keys able to give us the ultimate edition?

That is the only key the CPP received.
