Vista RC1 Public Version


Recommended Posts

In Build 5536 i couldn't install because i don't have 512MB Ram... It won't even let me try. It just sais: Windows Vista requires 512MB Ram, and you have only 288MB Ram. Setup will not start.

Maybe they've removed the deny and made it a warning...

Well these builds will die on a system with 512 MB RAM anyway. It will be improved for the final build(s), though.

I wouldnt even let my grandmother's, brother's, sister's, third cousin use a system with 288mb of ram. I would chunk it out the window and buy them a new box. people dont deserve to suffer so badly in life

Well if you want to buy me a new pc... (Can't upgrade: Motherboard can only handle up to 320MB... No512...)

I'm quite desperate :(

It reaches a point where if you are going to drop a few hundred dollars on a new OS, you might want to consider upgrading the base system first. :)

I used RC1 for about a week then switched back to XP. Still too much incompatibility, still too much memory usage, and still too many driver problems. The list goes on.

Maybe I'm cynical, but to be fair this has been in development for 5 years. :pinch:

    • Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about
    • That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.
    • Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
    • do these change.org petitions ever do anything besides give people a place to complain?
