They've been around a few years, aren't too bad guys and have a few knowledgeable members. Respectable is a term that can only be used if you know people personally, so for him to say they are without knowing them doesn't really make sense.

MazdawgRollin Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 windows 7 beta 1 build 7000 has been leaked for a while now.I'm using it on my workstation at work and as a dual boot at home. i've been on it for 9 days at work using the x86 build. It runs really well, cad works well, i just stay away from wmp12 because i hear it has issues corrupting mp3s. i can't wait to see if the official release is a newer build.

wiggly1uk2000 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Umm, it's the 64 bit version that has everyone's attention at the moment. Everyone contributing to this thread probably has the x86 already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example you like someones art work, you follow his art work, you respect his art work not the person himself. WinBeta you respect his quality releases same as above applies. Of course you can use Respectable, it can be used in many forms, dont start me as it's too early in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Veteran Posted January 7, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2009 lol i know where those screenies come from :p whats so special about 64bit, compatibility? what are you going to run your 32bit games lol Have you ever used an x64 OS? Games work fine. nVidia and ATI have x64 drivers, motherboard and audio chip OEMs have x64 drivers. The only things I have that don't work on x64 are a 10 year old eBook that the company doesn't make books for anymore and Palm USB HotSync devices that are too out of date to even bother using anymore. Oh, and an Intel webcam that didn't even work after XP SP2.

I'm talking games not applications. See which system should be more suited to a gamer due to the lack of 64bit software. Your maybe right, but that doesn't mean all your software on your PC is fully legit is it now ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your maybe right, but that doesn't mean all your software on your PC is fully legit is it now ;) I'm using Vista x64 right now. I have 0, (zero, nada, nyet) difference in speed from using Vista x86. I have every game Valve has made, WoW, other MMOs and plenty of other games that run at the same speed. Do you not understand that 32-bit applications run at the same speed? There is no "emulator" that slows anything down. There is only a thunking layer that makes sure the 32-bit apps don't run into memory issues. And yes, everything from my OS, Office install, Visual Studio and games down through shareware, MP3s and even text files are all legally purchased. I'm sorry you feel that other people need to pirate stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now - back on topic - vague hints as to where we can get the x64 beta please? Slightly less vague than "nice looking foreigners" would be great :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
