running vista on my laptop! screenshot - GoFuckYourself.com

a1ka1ine · 09-23-2006, 04:09 PM

very happy with it! everything works :D and it runs real fast. not one error so far the only problem is small, vlc media player doesnt support windows aero, so when you load it it doesnt get a nice glass frame which blurs the background. but im sure things like that are just little niggles that will be fixed in the release or SP.

you can see my version in the bottom right corner.

it runs cs2, dw8, vegas, flashfxp, firefox, trillian, putty, and a few other things needed to run my biz - all flawlessly.

check it out :D theres been another release since rc1 (supposedly final before it hits the shelves)

previous releases were awful from what ive read/heard, but i see no probs with this

squishypimp · 09-23-2006, 04:11 PM

i cant wait to get my computer upgraded to vista

looks very cool

munki · 09-23-2006, 04:12 PM

I was running the last beta, haven't installed the latest release candidate yet... hopefully they cleaned up most of the hangups...

Vitasoy · 09-23-2006, 04:19 PM

x582 · 09-23-2006, 09:17 PM

chaze · 09-23-2006, 09:25 PM

I'm waiting for it to release so I can buy a new laptop with it, blue tooth, and a blue ray disk burner. I'm about 2 months out I guess.

Mr.Right - Banned For Life · 09-23-2006, 09:26 PM

MyNameIsNobody · 09-23-2006, 10:17 PM

damn vista is starting to get fairly popular.. will wait for the official release though..

bobby666 · 09-23-2006, 11:29 PM

they have studied mac os too much
but macs need just 256mb to run the os
(vista:one gig just for launching progs)

mrthumbs · 09-23-2006, 11:35 PM

i really dont get it.. i run win2k and i can do just about everything.. whats the need for upgrading? It only slows down stuff and you know youll be a guinea pig for the first few months with all the security issues....

mrthumbs · 09-23-2006, 11:36 PM

we can do without aero window frames!!

martinsc · 09-24-2006, 01:53 AM

i love my vista

BabeHunter · 09-24-2006, 02:15 AM

this release is the final one made public before it hits the shelves, so as stable as your gonna see for 3 months at least :D

http://download.windowsvista.com/dl/...FRE_EN_DVD.iso

pretty cool tho, when i installed it, it said there were critical updates for my sony laptop, and nvidia gfx card, all the drivers were dated this week so, i guess its getting better every day

true, its a lot more bloated than xp, but, after the hellishly long install time it runs faster than xp for me at encoding video. the OS is supposedly better written to take advantage of dual core/multithreaded OS etc...

plus it looks and feels a lot nicer, like being in a mercedes not a ford

and im "in" my work all day so want something more swish hehe

djroof · 09-24-2006, 04:22 AM

Awesome screencap man!

chris_joseph · 09-24-2006, 04:24 AM

looks awesome... can't wait for the final version.

a1ka1ine · 09-24-2006, 04:32 AM

Im going to try 5728. I had 5600 or something, and it would load up and do the knight rider thing after it was all installed, then went to a black screen. Not sure if it doesnt support my card, or dvi connection or what. Was kind of weird. Well will be dl'ed in 40 mins or so. Thanks for the link to 5728

fallenmuffin · 09-24-2006, 07:04 AM

Looks cool but I bet its heavy as hell...

TampaToker · 09-24-2006, 07:08 AM

Wtf type of disk you gotta burn it to? a cd-r or dvd?

Paparazzi · 09-24-2006, 07:10 AM

stickyfingerz · 09-24-2006, 07:11 AM

ahh crap I need the 64 version. Looking now though.
