running vista on my laptop! screenshot

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 :)

i cant wait to get my computer upgraded to vista :)

looks very cool :)

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

Was def. great playing around with.

Downloading it now! how is the speech recognition ?

not tried it, been busy installing and testing my software today, will take a look :D

make sure you are downloading 5728 and not RC1, ive heard there have been advances since rc1 :D

When I install it, I'll be switching it to windows classic

Ya just dl'd it, bout to try it on a seperate drive on my new encoding box.:thumbsup

Hasn't happened yet in any previous versions so I wouldn't hold my breath.

.

very nice man :) Where did you find that desktop wallpaper?

installing now. expanding files 65% go fasta!!

that looks sweet, i hope to get it soon

looks better then xp.

almost there. Rebooted and about to start for the first time.

Looks like what KDE looked like a year ago. =/

looks nice

vista looks alot like LINUX!!!

can you upload your background somewhere :)

what are your laptop specs?

It looks cool !!

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.

That looks very cool.

Looks cool and a lot like an Apple desktop now. :upsidedow

DESKTOP SCREENSHOT TIME! (Sorry, I'm running XP)

Yes, I am aware that Huskies are not Wolves. Thank you.

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

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

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....

we can do without aero window frames!!

i love my vista :thumbsup

looks cool

gonna wait for the official release tough

Where did you download it from? microsoft.com?

If you can't innovate then imitate!

.

wow that looks realy awesome, think ima give it a go on my laptop before upgrading all my machines.

vista will be great after the first service pack....I guess sometime at the end of 2007

yup, I'm the same, all this eye candy shit is for teenagers

i took the picture last time i was in thailand, then tweaked the fuck out of it in cs2 :D

core duo T2600, 2gb memory, 13" 1280x800 geforce 7400, 120gb hd, 1.69kg

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

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

Awesome screencap man!

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

for those that asked

my wallpaper (1280x800) http://www.oishii18.com/sathorntaijct.jpg
one i redid this morning to be bigger: http://www.oishii18.com/sathorntaijctbig.jpg

Runnign it on my desktop and works great, the laptop is way to valuable to risk right now

looks good!:thumbsup!

thanks man :thumbsup I might try it also on the laptop, need to format it anyway. Will it work for 30 days or something to test?

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

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

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

dvd, the file is about 2.6 gb

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

thats what i figured my burner must be having problem then :disgust
