New sound? You suck :p I'm only getting 49.6KB/sec As far as GUI stuff, from what I've heard there aren't any huge changes. For the most part, this only contains minor UI changes. Mostly performance and stability improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJerman Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Will the Americans please get off the European servers your making it slow! :laugh: No! :laugh: Tell them to give us faster servers haha. So anyway, here's my question... I'm running an nForce4 with 2 SATA II drives in RAID. I haven't used Vista for a while and not since I added these drives. I know I have seen some issues with the RAID drivers and Vista so does anyone know any more information about this? I'm looking to install Vista on the RAID partition if possible. Thanks in advance!

boogerjones Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Anyone requesting links or suggesting means, other than official Microsoft link, of obtaining this will have their post removed and warning level increased I think your post suggests there are other means of obtaining it. :p I also hope that in the future companies will learn to embrace technology that can reduce their bandwidth load while ensuring rapid delivery of their software to consumers.

Kristian Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 correct, only a few minor changes. and no new sounds. Isn't the Windows Startup sound new? The one we hear after we have entered login details. I'm sure it was the same as the XP startup sound in 5536 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyko_x Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 So in this build if you maximize a window the top title bar stays translucent? I think that's a pretty bad design on their part. If i maximize a window it's because I want to focus on the foreground app and see nothing else...not even garbled text or images showing through the top of the screen. Anyways I'm still really excited to try the build out myself. Is this build pretty much identical to 5536 or have people noticed bug fixes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass becomes opaque when a window is maximized, and has done this since who knows when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
