I mean, you think they went to FAT? hahaha 586283766[/snapback] I think he didn't know if Windows Future Storage had been implemented yet, and the answer to THAT question is it won't be in the shipping version of Vista but it will be shipped as an additional download.

cheukiecfu Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 After I read this article... I feel that Beta 2 will be WAYY better than Beta 1... http://news.com.com/A+window+into+Vista/20...html?tag=st.num Beta 1 has already improved a lot since XP.. all I gotta say is: "can't wait for PDC, can't wait for Beta 2...Vista will be MS biggest release since 95!!"

Xtreme $niper Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Well, I'm going to bed, I'll read in the morning how to enable Avalon on this beta ... I'm beginning to wonder if this is even in this beta! 586283780[/snapback] I dunno I heard from somewhere that the whole fancy looking theme will be applied in beta 2. Beta 1 is only for devs so they didnt add the fancy crap just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonetek Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Good point, but I as well would LOVE to hear some new sounds, can you ask or can a mod say something about the matter? 586283613[/snapback] This is all I get to download, so it's work as usuall , I wish I had the time to screw with this cow some more. I know I will have to , but for now and my brief 480 hours or so with 4074, I DON'T LIKE IT-- But then I didnt like XP when they sprung that on us I was sold on 2000 Advanced Server, ( now how stupid is that??) I wish they would just let us make some money with XP and leave it but , they must keep tortuing us to learn their new tricks. AS far as i can see its the same sh** just a different day. Thanks to our all-mighty F*** head Uncle Bill BIG DEAL and that hack into the reg,, the super fetch crap---- i dont think i am at all impressed,,,, so that aint it and if it is faster than 2003 server i have yet to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam-Kincaid Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I don't really like Longhorn or Vista's interface... I prefer XP or 2000. I hope it changes by the final version or I doubt I'll upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
