:unsure: I don't know then, maybe I'm wrong, I just don't think Microsoft would mix the betas and I haven't seen anyone post anything anywhere about being nominating.

hey hey, just wondering how you get to beta something like this, what do you have to do to be picked to beta longhorn?

Cheers Mike.

They have been saying 128mb of video memory for the Aero Glass experience....but I have a feeling they might bring that down....

Sounds like it isn't going to get released today, this from pro networks...

"I believe that IF MS does make an announcement tomorrow, as other sites have reported, it will NOT be that Beta 1 is available, but simply that it has gone Gold, which is exactly what we have been reporting all along. They will then announce that it will be available August 3rd."

So you all still may be waiting another week yet.

But, could be very wrong. We'll see.

i think the screenshot is fake, because the build tag on the desktop is in a other style...

Exactly, it's not really in MS format either. Usually they have the build time and date in the build tag... it's not there on the screenshot?!

Could be wrong though..

can I ask, what is the advantage of Vista at the moment?

I mean besides graphically.

What does it have to offer that XP wont.

Will it just be faster and look better and demand more power?

i thought Beta 1 would still be known as Longhorn :blink:

The Build on the desktop will say Vista. Most other internal references will say Longhorn.

BTW... I suspect the final build will be 5113. We're still working to confirm that.

It will be known as Longhorn, but the build tag doesn't have to say longhorn :p

Amnesia, security.

I heard that the build tag would be the only place MS would change to Vista in beta 1..
