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.

Cwn

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...

Yes iso can be mounted. Now another question, do Public Beta2 keys work? (yes i know that public people aren't supposed to get this build but i'd rather have an answer tan a comment that i shouldn't try :p )

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?

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
