Ambroos Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yay Flip3D Anti-Aliasing :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/5/#findComment-587818615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy003 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Looks like they tweaked the antialiasing for Flip3d again for this build. Looks better: :woot: Flip3D looks awesome, with the little curve, in your screen resolution.I guess you just don't get it... that's exactly the kind of attitude that allows MS to get away with this kind of BS And your attitude is...? Insisting on Microsoft being ignorant while you yourself acting the same. No offense, really, but your purpose on these forums should not be to criticize Microsoft about some icons. Microsoft has a lot more to deal with than this stuff. Think about how many people are like you??? :pinch: Anyway, I want the CPU meter to be fixed. I don't like the look of it... You can't really tell the CPU and Memory apart, can you? But I'll tell ya more when I get it installed... *hopeful* :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/5/#findComment-587818721 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Noooooo! I started the download on connect last night...Went to bed and just now I take notice it locked up and didnt finish the download. Grr. In the mean time. Anyone know of any programs that do not work yet? Like IM clients? I know AIM 5.9 has not worked for awhile, is that finally fixed? I hope. What else doesnt work? Just under half an hour for download yay. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/5/#findComment-587818791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Sagy Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'd like to hear reports about CPU and memory usage aswell. nVidia driver numbers wouldn't hurt either, that was my beef with with older builds I've seen and beta 2 that I've tested myself.

P!P Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Oh, this a pretty good build. - Install is very fast. Wasn't paying attention but it was under 30 minutes. - Flip 3D is finally what it should have been. Full Anti-AA, and it looks great. - Very fast overall, no problems what-so-ever. Can't wait for RC1. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/5/#findComment-587818838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo Fighter Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Quick question: I realize you can partition a hard drive using Vista's installer, but will doing so automatically enable dual booting between Vista and XP? What acts as Boot manager, and how is it invoked? Since this build looks and behaves so polished I think now is the time to install Vista on my primary system, switching between XP and V as needed. Until now I had been running the OS on an old Pentium 4 beater box for testing. Now Vista deserves better treatment than that. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/5/#findComment-587818855 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until now I had been running the OS on an old Pentium 4 beater box for testing. Now Vista deserves better treatment than that. :p I believe Vista will check other drives for boot.ini files and automatically insert it's own boot manager. Correct me if I'm wrong, however, this has been the case the times I have installed it.

What acts as Boot manager, and how is it invoked? Vista will always create and use its own boot manager. If you really want to, you can overwrite with XP's boot manager but that would be open to create problems. I've installed and upgraded to every Vista build using XP with no problems. If you already have XP installed, it will automatically dual-boot. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/5/#findComment-587818875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo Fighter Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Cool! In that case I know what I'll be doing today. ;) I've installed and upgraded to every Vista build using XP with no problems. That brings up another question; can I later upgrade the Vista install (or copy over it entirely) to the 64-bit version? Or will that create problems?

Joel Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 So now that they've updated the icons in the Control Panel, we're bitching about the other 2 old things? :blink: This from the same people that said MS wouldn't fix the icons in the CP. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/489661-build-5536-released/page/5/#findComment-587818891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 From what I hear 5536 is the RC1. Nope, it's the Pre-RC1.

+Elі Subscriber² Posted August 25, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted August 25, 2006 This buils is really nice, installation was quick, performance is great, way better than the previous one, lots of new icons etc, yes all those legacy icons are slowly going away, come on people have some patience, the most visible ones have all been replaced at this point and I have confidence they will all be replaced.
