Windows Vista Beta 1


Recommended Posts

So I guess the people who still say "Pending" aren't getting it from an official source today. Am I correct?

they'll probablly release in segmants of 10,000 ( like in 2 hours they say "let another 10,000 download) eventually it'll be torrented :happy:

er... i'm afraid it is pretty close to what Aero Glass should look like. That is, the AERO(caps) part of it.

Of course it will be changeable. Rumours say that uxtheme will be unlocked by default. Also, since these are DirectX shaders, you can change them with the right amount of hacking. Say... more blurring, frosted look, anything you like.

i hope i'm not the only one who thinks the gui is ugly. the transparency is pretty nifty, but the colors are all over the board and they don't match very well. i think it also has a bloated look, but that's just me. vista better have something like visual styles to change how it looks.

Nope, I also think that, design-wise, it's nothing special at all.

But again, I really don't think that this will be the final GUI - I'm sure that MS hasn't shown anything yet.

The style you see is not the final style :rolleyes:. It's just a placeholder.

eh, maybe i'm just ignorant. but i'm sure it will look something similar since people have been ooh ahhing about the aero look forever.

For the last couple days i keep trying to log on and then it always wants me to register, I have already registered before AND taken the beta survey. If i try to reregister it tells me there is already someone regisitered with that email! WTF?

I said the people who have Pending aren't getting it today. Meaning in another wave?

If that's the case, when do these new 'waves' happen?

I'm confused about something. I thought some of you'll said that Longhorn Beta 1 wouldn't be labeled as Vista... but a screenshot off of Microsoft's website has it listen in the OS as "Windows Vista Beta 1". Is this just internal or will it be that way in the build we're downloading today?
