dlewis23 Posted July 28, 2005 CID Share Posted July 28, 2005 I downloaded the windows vista beta 1 and i have to say nice job microsoft. The setup is so easy a blind monkey could do it. once you get into windows, it takes some getting use to all the new UI, espically the transparency effect. But once you get use to it, you'll really like it alot. As far as speed goes, if you have a decent processor this thing is fucken fast. i tested it on my back up 1GHz P3 when i first downloaded it, and it was usable but not fast like it should be. Also you need a modertly fast GPU to render the amazing graphics, and effects that microsoft put in there. No wonder it took 5 years of develpoment to get this product out. nice job microsoft.

CA3LE Posted July 28, 2005 CID Share Posted July 28, 2005 When is the release of this... is this Longhorn just re-branded?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted July 28, 2005 CID Share Posted July 28, 2005 down loaded the 32bit what do I do now the file is unrecognizable You will have to burn it to a dvd-r or mount it with alcohol 120%. Burning it would be the better choice being that you will need to install it from scratch. I don't have a dvd burner myself, so I'll have to figure out how to turn the dvd version into a multiple cd-r version. When is the release of this... is this Longhorn just re-branded?? It's not scheduled until the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2006 (I think I got that right ). Originally, it wasn't scheduled until 2007, but MS removed alot of stuff that will be included in a service pack or something. Yep, it's the OS formerly know as Longhorn. Kinda like the Artist formerly known as Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted July 28, 2005 CID Share Posted July 28, 2005 I did it by mistake. The lock topic button is close to the "General Discussion" button. Sorry about that. I've done it before too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cak46 Posted July 29, 2005 CID Share Posted July 29, 2005 Tried to download but all I downloaded was a 28.2KB file, but then again I don't use bittorrent. Is that the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest helloimtim Posted July 29, 2005 CID Share Posted July 29, 2005 You need a program. I use bit tornado. Its by far the best in my oppinion I have tried them all. You will need a folder to save the downloads to. Just put one on your desktop and when it asks where to put the folder browse to the one you made on your desktop.

organ_shifter Posted July 29, 2005 CID Share Posted July 29, 2005 Alright, I've finished my personal business for the day. It's time to format and install the 64Bit version. I'll report back as soon as possible. Vista and I are about to get up close and personal! This will be an all nighter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
