The one that I saw alot was graphic drivers and sound driver not acting like they should.. I was however, not all that impressed with the beta.. Not much has physically changed. I mean a new GUI that is nice but it is not like they reinvented the start menu.. I am sure that the beta is on some torrent sites.. check those.

KingCobra Posted September 29, 2005 CID Share Posted September 29, 2005 that is correct.. the only legal way to get it is if you have a developer subscription with MS. There are numerous other ways to legally run Windows Vista.

Swimmer Posted September 29, 2005 CID Share Posted September 29, 2005 no it will run... might not be at full resolution.. The graphic problems are related mostly to older or onboard solutions.. you should be alright..

ZeroOne Posted September 29, 2005 CID Share Posted September 29, 2005 Is Vista really a drastic improvement over XP?

raptors892004 Posted September 29, 2005 CID Share Posted September 29, 2005 i didnt know BSOD really existed on XP, i've never seen one before Its probably cuz on default, WinXP restarts the pc whenever there is a blue screen/fatal error (instead of showing a blue screen) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/8029-please-suggest-windows-vista/#findComment-84107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted September 29, 2005 CID Share Posted September 29, 2005 i didnt know BSOD really existed on XP, i've never seen one before Yup, it does exist.

Is it a nicer blue screen that older versions of windows or is it the same nasty blue color, which sends shivers down my spine with the somewhat nasty DOS writing accompanying it?

raptors892004 Posted September 30, 2005 CID Share Posted September 30, 2005 i'm thinking its even worse than windows 98.. i'll be better off skipping a heart beat when my pc restarts for no reason, that skipping two heart beats from seeing the blue screen and its console font Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/8029-please-suggest-windows-vista/#findComment-84130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
