ThompZen Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I think we all now understand that there isn't much (or any) difference in the UI in RC1, but what about other important things, like drives. Have anyone noticed any new supported hardware, or updated drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~impuLsive Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ^ Nope. Im on XP right now, and If I need to go to Vista, I can do it with a reboot :p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharos Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Is there a forum I can visit where they do more hacking of vista? I really think some talented members could perhaps find some way to stop the taskbar/sidebar/window going solid upon maximization. I hope so, i hate that black bar, totally blows my Aero experience :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobster Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ^ Nope. Im on XP right now, and If I need to go to Vista, I can do it with a reboot :p. Same with me but I'm using pre-RC1 until RC1 is released to the public. Haven't experienced any problems whatsoever :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athernar Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Guys, unless i have been blind for the last few builds, i think the "UI Changes" are the Bottom and Right edges of Aero Glass windows going from a light blue to a whitish colour. :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted September 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 1, 2006 got it running succesfully on my iMac yay :D That's good to hear. I was going to fiddle with this on my MacBook Pro for a while. Also, as far as dual booting on my PC goes, would I just install to my 2nd drive (I've got 2 in this machine) and that's all? I assume it will leave my base install intact and just set up the bootloader with a 2nd entry for Vista, in addition to XP. Have I got it right?

One for XP, one for Vista. It automatically creates a "Windows Vista" entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it will detect XP and add it into the bootloader automatically. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 When RC1's released to the public would everyone who downloaded Beta 2 get a email notification or anything? I remember somewhere saying yes, I dont remember.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
»X« Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Does anyone know the differences between 5600 and 5552? Is it worth upgrading? and for those smart arses, its 48. That boat has sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chosen One Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I thought u cant dual boot with the new vista and xp? koz of the vista boot loader..that's the problem i had with 5536 and the previous build before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I thought u cant dual boot with the new vista and xp? koz of the vista boot loader..that's the problem i had with 5536 and the previous build before that. I have successfully dual booted with all vista/longhorn builds since the PDC03 build... 5600 running here with no problems. Had to replace the stock Marvell Yukon drivers again since they caused tons of timeouts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menge Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 wow... they've added MORE items to the control panel. (5536 had 49 items. this build has 50 :p) meh... pondering if i should odnwload this and upgrade my mega-review to RC1 instead of Pre-RC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
