Shaidar Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Sounds? Really? Ehrm ... I doubt Neowin would want me to copy the Vista sounds to somewhere public, but here's a screeny : http://gallery.damn.be/v/Desktop/vista/sounds.jpg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditto Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 On the Connect site, where do we report bugs against IE7 on WinXP? I can't spot a feedback, submit bug or similar link on the connect site, but the beta instructions say to use the Connect site to submit bugs... am I missing something obvious or is the bug-reporting mechanism not yet in place on Connect for this program? 586283385[/snapback] To report Bugs on the Connect site go to the Longhorn And IE7 home and scroll down to the articles. Click on View All, the second link on that page is bug reporting Ditto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InternalStorm Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I was uhh reading the "newspaper" today and there was an article on Vista Beta 1, however, somebody damaged about half of the article by tearing chunks out of the paper... It was the ONLY article I could find in the "newspaper" on Vista Beta 1, and it was talking about the DVD. Any information on the mysterious missing pieces from the paper? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaidar Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Mmm .. can't find how to enable that new flashy desktop ... Oh, and DX9c is installed, but the Nvidia driver only reports DX8.1... Well, it's a beta ;) But the overall feel of Vista is smooth ... I'm running it on a Northwood 3.2Ghz, 2 Gb PC3200 ram and a 6800GT AGP ... Sometimes it's a bit borky, but it's a beta afterall... I modded my XP to be as minimalistic as possible, and that's a very big difference with this Vista, there are buttons everywhere, and you can access almost everything from virtually anywhere ... Will take a lot of time to get used to, or even much time to mod everything back to it's minimalistic form ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you can upgrade but it's useless to for many reasons.... after testing it you can easily just keep the partition to install Beta 2 on or you can just delete it and merge the disk space with your primary partition again ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
