good gawd people quit fighting about stuff microsoft said was going to change..

By RTM the font manager will be replaced with a new one! ms already said this

All Icons are going to be updated... about 90% are now updated by RTM they all will be

New sounds will be in the RTM version only, no beta will have them

As were getting close to the release candidate, sometime in september, Ive really realised that Windows isnt going to look all that great. After that Aero Diomand discussion and revolutionary desktop change, we've ended up with another, just ok, looking version of windows.

I agree. Every time I see screenshots of Vista, I pinch myself and ask: is this really the UI that they're going to sell to customers? The colors are awful, it's inconsistent and messy, and explorer seems more difficult to use. I was just hoping for more...

well Luna was worse. The whole damn UI look like it was made for kids....

at least in vista, some parts of the UI look realistic

xp looked a hell of a lot better than 2000 and ME in my opinion though.

That is true. Alough the gray boxes were updated to a badge boxes in 2000/ME whitch made it look a little better then 9x

I rather have the royale skin then luna. I understand that the Royale skin that was in MCE 2005 was leaked out by microsoft and can be found on vaous downlpoad websites..as i have it on my XP home pc

memory usage doesn't matter because more RAM you've then more cache is used to improve the applications loading speed i.e. memory usage is proportional to system RAM

That is true but I think its important to point out that people stumble across this when they are trying to figure out why Vista is being so dog slow.

Maybe some of you could tell us how Windows Explorer looks and behaves now..

1: If you resize the Explorer window and close it does it remember the size when you reopen it?

2: Is it possible to remove the "favourite links"-field (or whatever the name is.. on top of the folder pane)?

3: Is the folder pane still ridiculously small when you open Explorer? In Beta 2 i have to resize *every time* I open Explorer.. this better be gone by now.

The only thing i dislike in the UI right now is the behavior when apps are maximized.

The UI turns blackish and looks broken, and the transparency in the taskbar disappears.

Bad.

I agree, I get that same look in my 5384 bulid. i sure wish they could change it...

Ehh there are no options for new keys on Connect, I have the most recent set of keys from connect and they work. So I dont know if Beta 2 keys work...but there are no new ones for it.

Is this build a bit more usable on a pc with 288MB Ram (P3 1.4Ghz, SDRam PC133, Riva TNT2, but i don't care about the blingbling stuff like Aero)

I dont think you should be running vista on that type of pc in the first place.

Min ram requierment is 512mb, you dont meet that. It may still install, but run pretty bad. Your better off sticking with XP.

----

Is this an interim build?

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By Case_f · Posted

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
