Vista RC1 Public Version

[mastertr]

Hmm...I never recieved any emails from Microsoft in Early September, even though I am a member of CPP, and did activate my copy of Vista >_>

[Elliot B.]

Mmm... I wonder if they have removed the stupid 512MB Ram restriction...

yay 955KB/s...

Can't seem to find Office 2007 B2TR

Explain...

[Ambroos]

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...

I have 2 gig of ram in mine if there is a restriction i dont know about it.

Oh sorry guys I dont know what i was thinking

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

vista RC1 installed and running, since the office refresh isnt out yet, would office xp work? i assume so? (got a legal copy around doing nothing)

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. :)

Thank you, I took the picture today while working on a laptop

[Viper_Maniac]

If you look hard enough... :whistle:

I know but I'm downloading it pretty good through that akamai download thing. Right now its dling about 600-900k. Only got about 15 mins left to go.

[max84]

Finally downloading. Should have it running in about 2.5 hours. Can't wait to hear the first user experiences.

[xtreme35967]

ONLY 900? ;/. Im lucky to get 300 >_>

I had to restart my computer to get mine to go further than 900k

[tgindrup]

Downloading at 5.1 Mb atm :D

[Randolph]

Downloading @ realtime because I already have it. :s

Anyone having troubling downloading?: Try using Internet Download Manager 5.05. It has a 90% success rate. (Y)

[Meshuggah]

200-500k, I want to test this finally. This will hopefully be my first build to properly test out. :)

[Lexcyn]

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:

[OhMuffin]

800kb/s, the MS servers are quite good to me.

62% done, 22 mins left to go :)

[Pharos]

Does this build perform faster than the Pre-RC1 build?
