Thanks for posting, I want it!

@PsykX, go ask Nvidia and ATI, it's more their fault and not Microsoft's. Damn video drivers.

lol well it's not really nVidia or ATI's fault because they are responsible for the graphics that appear on the screen when you play a game only, not for what's running on the background. I know what you mean though, it's up to them to make the next-gen video cards compatible with DX10.0

On the other hand, MS was supposed to disable most of the services when you play a game, I haven't heard about this feature being cut nor implemented. If, indeed they shut down all the useless services in the background, it can give more CPU usage, RAM usage and more Disk usage to spend on the games! That's like one of the only features in Vista that really did surprise me, that and DX10, so I hope it's not removed.

i'm pretty sure you already breached that.

Oh man...the NDA has BEEN breached this Vista was a fetus. You didn't know? :huh: :rolleyes:

/sarcasm

I really wish we could stop with the "No. Can't discuss because of NDA." crap. :angry:

Err. ATI and nVidia's display drivers are *always* active when you've installed them. If anything is appearing at all on your screen, you're using them. I've had a few random blue screens using ATI's RC1 beta drivers, when I just go to hit switch user or the like. It's a bit of a nuisance. I haven't had time to debug the minidump yet, but I'm pretty sure it's ATI's fault... since it doesn't happen with the stock drivers that come with Windows =)

Just out of curiosity, how do you know this? It's less than a month from RTMing, why would we get another build? TAP testers are the real beta testers, they'll get more builds, but I don't see why we would.

What do you mean real beta testers? That's insulting to those of us on the techbeta that work very hard and may I add for free in an effort to make Windows Vista decent.

Beta Testers will get at least another build before RTM.

Very good talk indeed. The only thing is you all already left the 5734 subject far away from being the central poin of the conversation. DVD is meaning? and Compact Disks???? NDA?? Oh I know why, is it because there are no screenshots of the build available yet?

TAP is the top dog, always has been. They get weekly builds as stated. Tech Beta maybe one a month if you are lucky. Tech Beta is due to get one more build. For TAP, they could get four more builds. So who is more important ? Looks to be TAP.

would be nice to see some screenshots... not that anything will really change that much at this late stage (unfortunately). wondering when they will put the sounds in finally??

Every post with a vista build screenshot looks the same, just a different build on the bottom left. Not much to get excited about over that bud

I will wait a little before there's a stable build and can't wait to test it in Boot Camp :p

All I wanna know is will it play games better? I know nobody has an answer on this, but still. I want the question answered asap by microsoft... I mean, all I will do on Windows is play games and some of my work with office 2007. Otherwise, I never use Windows.

Actually over at www.winsupersite.com Paul has done quite a bit of testing on games. According to him HL2, Doom 3 and others run as good or better than XP.

Google a bit before making asumptions.

I'm not sure about this... :huh:

Its true that since RC1 game speed have increased but its definitely less framerate in Vista than in xp for the same games. But with some games its hard to feel the difference.

Ex: Farcry runs around 55fps in Xp for me and it runs around 45fps in vista 5728.

Actually i even found a link were they tested ATi & Nvidia on vista & Xp here:

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      Mac does nothing of the sort. You can change the default browser very easily it does not nag you and when you do this, it does not open something still in Safari....like Windows does with Edge.

      I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
