Vista RTM on Connect


Recommended Posts

No invitation yet...does it literally pop up..

what do i have to do to get it...ive submitted bug reports and glitch papers and everything....

since its an RTM does that mean that its the final version?

medking

it is the final version. When you click downloads on connect you'll be redirected to a survey you must accept before you're allowed to download.

ok sorry to bother you guys again but my heart is literally beating out of control right now...

i submitted bug reports using the microsoft program....

im not active in anything on connect though...ive just been submitting bugs through the program they advise on the scenario voting site which comes with file transfer manager...is that the right thing??

(hope i get it!!!)

Quick question...

If a program crashed and you told it to auto report to Microsoft, does that count as a bug report? I used Beta 1 - RC2 as a main OS, but didn't go under any major bugs other than stuff crashing.

Nothing in my mailbox. I really hope that the autosend in thing worked :(

Those bugs get sent to your connect account (you have put in your email on one of the last steps)

If I were you, I would sign in on connect with that email address ;)

Nope, those are not linked back to you in any way. If you didn't file bug reports using Connect or the bug reporting program, then you will not be receiving a copy of Vista.

Got an email, accepted and stuff.

Went to downloads and its got

15/11/2006 Windows Vista Final English DVD Images (x86 and x64) 6.0 Build Final media images for Windows Vista English DVD's

vista_6000.16386.061101-2205_x86fre_client-LRMCFRE_EN_DVD.iso

vista_6000.16386.061101-2205_x64fre_client-LRMCxFRE_EN_DVD.iso

Downloading those, are they the RTM? The words media images threw me off.

Only currently active, invited members of the Windows Vista technical beta program who filed at least one bug are receiving this offer.

This means ONLY if MS invited you to test Vista.

INVITED

please don't get people's hope's up.

Wait, so if you joined as a CPP, you don't get it?

This is correct. If you merely downloaded a copy (outside of the official tech beta) of a beta/RC and submitted a bug, you won't get this offer. You have to have been an invited, active member of the Windows Vista technical beta program.

Here is a direct quote from the e-mail:

"Only currently active, invited members of the Windows Vista technical beta program who filed at least one bug are receiving this offer."

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
