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...

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?

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
