my friend ran this flawlessly on a computer with p3 @ 1.6ghz w/ 512mb ram.. he hates all OS's equally, but this is the first OS he's gonna get on opening day... AND IM GOING WITH HIM
 
[citation][nom]BlackWidow_rsa[/nom]pretty negative guy then. and great that you ran a yet unfinished os on 512mb, nearly no pcs ship with that amount anymore[/citation]
It does extremely well. Pretty damn stable even though it's not the full OS.

It's the full version that concerns me. Will it behave as well when it puts on the pounds?
 
What concerns me is driver support. Will this create just more sound driver support issues for the team at creative? and inefficient gaming performance under DX10? cause it seems like its the same vista core except less resources and better memory utilization
 
I agree, I've been using only Build 6801 for the past three weeks and it is miles more refined than Vista, which I think was already great. I can't wait for it become a full-fledged OS.

I really want the DVD. Just for commemorative purposes. Too bad it's in Chicago...
 
You've got to be kidding??? It's crashed on me 3 times in 1 hour. Stable?

Try looking at the Event Viewer and switch quickly between various event log events, MMC crashes big time. Ugh this is horrible? What do you folks do that have a build of Windows 7??? Nothing? OMG, just push it a little and it tumbles down and not very gracefully either.

 
I suspect an apple fanboy...
Anyways,I'll probably just end up pirating the beta,since microsoft doesn't want to give meany of the betas... :)

What Build were you using? Build 6801 is quite stable.

I think Microsoft has learned a few lessons with Vista that they won't easily forget. I remember the Vista betas, and those were pretty bad. The fact that I can use something that isn't even a Beta, as a stable OS gives me quite a bit of hope for the final product.

Is your friend using an overclocked Tualatin core P3?
 
Microsoft is not considered volitile stock since it plunged from $140 range to $25 DECADE ago, in wake of present problems microsoft fell to $13, yet has now recovered to $19 in two weeks. Good going Microsoft.

Finally getting NT6 down to one o/s for 32 & one for 64 bit is big start. 2011 is predicted to be first all 64 bit o/s, windows 8.

Are you serious??? After all Win 7 is based on the Vista code base.
 
It looks like Microsoft is aiming to erase the talk of Vista as soon as possible.

I'm so sick of people writing that crap. They'"It looks like Microsoft is aiming to erase the talk of Vista as soon as possible."

I'm so sick of people writing that crap. MS will work to erase Win7 just as fast.

Making the release cycle faster keeps people from getting all attached like they did with XP.

These days claiming MS is trying to forget vista and move on quickly is misleading and sounds ignorant.

Before the whole Vista wait, we'd get a new Windows version every 2-3 years. So this isn't all that new. Vista was delayed a couple years.
 
microsoft will never be stable, no matter what you do. you know why? crappy drivers from everyone else. fix the drivers and the OS becomes stable. Take a look at Apple, for the most part they develop their own drivers, system is more stable :)
 
I also found build 6801 to be quite stable for a pre-alpha version. Granted, I didn't push the OS too much but for comparison Vista at that stage was very hard to use.
 
Microsoft now implements Mojave Experiment on a large scale: Vista dubbed Seven. Don't be fooled by some minor gui improvements that could have very well been have shipped part of service pack 2. Seven is still crap but with a "blue ribbon" paper if you catch the pun.

hey buddy, explain why Mac is shit, lol. i have a macbook pro laptop and it's about a year old, no crashes or lockups on it whatsoever. try that with any windows set up and we will talk, lol
 
I've had a Vista based PC for about a year now and it never crashed, not even once. What do you say about that Apple fabboy?
Yeah, STFU "lol"! If you can't handle a PC stick to macs, and Apple will stick their finger in your ass and do with you as they please. At least Microsoft never tried to cover their shit on forums...
