The majority of that, though, is Windows Defender definition updates, which you can get on WinXP. There's one update to Rc1, and beyond that not much.

ALL of the blame lies with the hardware vendor. If everyone here can get a decently current copy, so can they. It's not up to Microsoft to ride the vendors, it's your job! Vote with your feet and your wallet, or go pro-active and kick up a fuss, but not here!

Sorry, but I disagree. Vote with your wallet? Neither ATI nor nVidia has come out with a proper driver for dual video card support. Microsoft has enough influence to get on them and push them to release proper drivers so that the community can test them before RTM. If buggy drivers come out during final release, people will complain that they weren't tested earlier. But you are just as willing to give them a free pass for not bothering to come out with a driver in the testing stage.

1. I'm pretty impressed they do give out updates for a beta os actually :)

2. Why would you think Microsoft is not pushing ATI/NVidia to roll out new/proper drivers? Ofcourse they are.

I would like to see most of the things already mentioned, most importantly new nVidia drivers.

I have a feeling though there will be very minimal additions in this build compared to 5728, and we'll all end up disappointed again and have to wait until RTM until sounds etc are in.

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

I hope at least AA and AF will work this time on.

I can't see that being any different, you can't get it to work in 96.33 can you? At least that lets Vista recognise a 7950GX2, even if they use that driver to get us into Windows, that'd be fine.

NVIDIA doesn't have anything newer than 96.33 do they? so AA and AF are going to be exactly the same :/

Not only you have to burn the ISO at nearly 1x to have no install errors, using DVD-RW is a complete no-go. It never worked well for me. I only use DVD-R

I've done all mine at max speed on a single DVD+RW. Everyone burn has been perfect.

dvd-r are soo cheap these days- its like ?9 for a 50-pk of 16x dvd-r's.

looking at that seattle clock - its only just hitting 10pm and its 6am in the uk- boohoo..:(( MS should release everything at GMT- same with apple and any worldwide release of a product:pp just imagine- a PS3 at GMT, Vista on shelves at GMT time:DD bah im just dreaming...

I think it's a damn good idea. I have no idea how all the US timezones are offset from UTC. But I know how local time is offset from UTC. We're either 12 or 13 hours ahead. First to see the sun.

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.

This is the wrong thread to comment on your dislike of the OS. See the trolls thread lower down ;)

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
