Can you get an invite to join connect or ask microsoft or something? Im stuck with beta 2 and i need a new build as I am a beta tester for norton products also and vista is a platform i need to test on :(

Sorry, I doubt anyone here can help you out. Have you tried through Norton?

44% complete, I will then mount the installation on my Vista partition and should be up and running!

Does this quote refer to this build? ("You'll see a huge difference [in performance]," Sievert said of the interim release, noting Microsoft is recommending 512 Megabytes of memory when testing the new code.)

^ I only see a windows classic option, no basic. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place (looking at themes)?

You can right click on the Desktop, click Personalization,Color Schemes, open Classic Appearence. You should see Vista Basic there. I keep forgetting about Search on the Start Menu. You could type in Classic Appearence. It may show up.

Thank you

are the performance improvements noticeable?

It is more responsive in general although doing certain things can make it happily lag to hell.

Searching in the start menu didn't work.

Can I tell you people, this is the most awesome experience I have ever had testing Vista, it doesn't go slow doing this post like it used to before even when I didn't do anything, right now for the first time ever in Vista has it had barely any CPU usage! :)

      It's expensive, but I bet it will still sell out just like the Steam Deck and the Steam Controller
