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.

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:

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
