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 )

    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
