M118LR Share Posted July 17, 2006 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? Link to post Share on other sites
Boz Share Posted July 17, 2006 Beta 2 keys work with this one? Someone report. Link to post Share on other sites
Nexx295 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Beta 2 keys work with this one? Someone report. Yes, but I doubt this build can be activated with a key of the public Beta 2. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike E Share Posted July 17, 2006 Yes, but I doubt this build can be activated with a key of the public Beta 2. If you haven't activated your beta 2 key 10 times, it should activate just fine. Link to post Share on other sites
SionicIon Share Posted July 17, 2006 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.)

M118LR Share Posted July 17, 2006 Slimy, Can you post a few of the Basic UI with the Start Menu showing and then some with multiple screens showing. Link to post Share on other sites
Slimy Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 ^ I only see a windows classic option, no basic. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place (looking at themes)? Link to post Share on other sites
psyko_x Share Posted July 18, 2006 are the performance improvements noticeable? Link to post Share on other sites
M118LR Share Posted July 18, 2006 ^ 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 Link to post Share on other sites
TokyoKiller Share Posted July 18, 2006 Oh my god, I can't wait for Vista :p. Link to post Share on other sites
Slimy Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) are the performance improvements noticeable? It is more responsive in general although doing certain things can make it happily lag to hell. 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 Searching in the start menu didn't work. Edited July 18, 2006 by slimy Link to post Share on other sites
SionicIon Share Posted July 18, 2006 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! :) Link to post Share on other sites
