Vista RTM on Connect


Recommended Posts

Well, this sucks. I found bugs in Media Center and submitted them to MS, (ones that weren't even known about) and I wasn't even a connect tester. Oh well!!! At least I have MSDNAA. I'll be getting free copies from there! ;)

OMFG... I was in Beta 2... but I can't remember if I submitted any bugs! ;_;

I feel like shooting myself... That's nearly $800 out the window... My god...

Or maybe it's got something to do about me being in Australia... I dunno. D:

MAN! ARGH! Please excuse the profanity. **** **** ****!

;________________;

Well, none of it showed up anyway... Anybody still receiving their emails now? Still not giving up hope...

Yes for the love of god

If you didn't START beta testing when beta 1 started AND submit one bug report.

YOU WILL NOT GET A COPY

Some people need to get over it and hope to be invited to test the next OS or Service pack 1 for Vista.

I was invited around buld 5342. Submitted around 15 or 20 bugs during the program. Already got my message offering me RTM and I am downloading the final build as we speak. So get your facts straight.

Where's the feedback button?

From what I remember, I registered with an old email address which got hacked, so I can't sign in with that (currently trying to get the old email account back...).

It also says that I'm not participating in anything at Connect.

I definitely have a key for Beta 2 in my current account from Microsoft, though...

It's so frustrating... It would've been so much better if I wasn't in Beta 2... That way I wouldn't have had any chance of getting it... but I got close this time and it hurts. :c

Sorry for sounding so depressing. :D

You'll have this in your participation if you're eligible for the free copy of vista:

Goddamn, there's nothing there. Thanks, anyway.

But there might be a slim thread of hope, since I'm pretty sure I registered the first time with my hacked gmail, so if I can get that email's password back, then hopefully I can get Vista. =/

But I'm still not sure whether I submitted any bugs... Seems kinda unfair how there was no warning. Microsoft just suddenly comes out of the blue and goes, if you submitted bugs then you get free stuff, if you forgot to, or couldn't be stuffed, you suck. It's a real kick in the balls.

The whole point of testing is to test for gods sake. If you didn't submit a bug then I hope they reject you from future beta programs.

What a spaztastic week. It's so like Microsoft to finalize Windows Vista right before my long weekend away, and I've been racing all week to catch up on the work I would have done had I not been sleeping in and eating out in Vermont last weekend. Anyway... My Vista review on the SuperSite has ballooned from 8 parts to 18, thanks largely to the sheer number of new features included in the release. I should have seen that coming. Fortunately (for me at least), Vista won't be available broadly until January, so I theoretically have plenty of time to get the review done. However, I'm planning on finishing it before Thanksgiving if possible. Longest article I've ever written? Almost certainly.

so whats the new features his talking about?

hear is the link to the article.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
