IM(not so)HO, Vista's UI looks like a bad Windowblinds port. They could deliver it on my doorstep and I wouldn't install it.

@Skinnylegs WDNCAYO (we do not care about your opinion) in this thread. This is the wrong place for your trolling.

I'd imagine we won't see this until lunch time in Redmond ... can't wait to get this installed tonight. I have my flash drive loaded up with everything I need to copy over/install. I've finally got this reformat/reinstall thing down to a science of exactly what I need to reinstall. :yes:

They could have made a deal to include Paint.NET with Vista. It's Free and very good.

ever looked at the copyright of paint.NET? it's made by interims and employees working for microsoft and is the property of microsoft. They wouldn't have to make a deal, but if they did it, they would surely get sued by adobe for including it. Think before you speak

did ms say the public would get rc2 today? or did paul say he thought ms would release it (not necessarily to the public) today? i'd hate for everyone to get their hopes up too high, myself included.

It may be realsed to a select number of CPP testers... ( i don't see why not, 5536 and 5728 that were sposto be "tester" builds both made the pubic and yes i'm aware for the 100,000 download for 5536 )

there was a link here, which had the page ready for public download like with rc1 and 5728: http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/rc2/en/download.htm

as for paint.net, it wont be included im sure and as for the developers, its mainly by student at the university, but microsoft did give them a developer. Its ACE, would be a nice addition, maybe they will add it for download on the ms website instead of the university site.

cant wait to install rc2, hope it works on my sata2 drive (non-raid), didnt last time.

I'm not too interested in SLI (well... I am...) but I wouldn't mind being able to just complete the installation with my 7950GX2.

I know NVIDIA are to blame (apparently) but MS still has a useless driver in all their recent builds... what's wrong with "Standard VGA Controller" anyway ? :p

Until I replaced my 7950gx2 with a ATI x1950xtx, I was never able to install Vista on this rig either...

They removed the link and now it just redirects us to the vista website ( whitch needs to be updated BIG time )

    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
