RaisinCain Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Ahh, pretty good article though. :) Nice to see some of us CPP people will get it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdesmus Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Interesting news ... well my laptop is ready for a reinstall :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Frothy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think Paul publishes some reasonably accurate information. I hope this "RC2" or whatever Microsoft calls it is actually worth the "RC" label this time. Interesting news ... well my laptop is ready for a reinstall :yes: Ditto! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisinCain Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hell yeah! I can't wait to see if anything has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 3, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2006 Wonder if i'll be one of the random CPP people. Haven't been able to install Vista on my real computer at the moment (burnt disk does nothing), but i have installed it in VMWare, it runs very nicely (apart from the BSOD's with VMWare's USB handling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisinCain Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 How come u can't install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Frothy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I hope the newest build implements the new nvidia drivers to fix the stability and usb issues - I've given up on MS fixing Aero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cswimbound Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I also am not able to install any builds since rc1 came out. I hope this is fixed in the upcoming release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yagi Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Thanks for posting. Great news! (prays for new nvidia drivers!) Here here! I get a blue screen before it even finishes installing with my 7950GX2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstar Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Thanks for posting. Great news! (prays for new nvidia drivers!) No probs! Okies if you pray for new nvidia drivers, I'll pray there's some evidence of UI fit and finish work (to try and swing the mood round from :angry: to :D). Hmm... actually there's so many wants, we could compile a "RC2 wish list", a "RTM wish list".. heck.. we could start one for Vienna too! :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Frothy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I agree but I think its a bit soon for rc2 :huh: :laugh: You do realize that Vista is meant to go to manufacturing on or around Oct 25th. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyko_x Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I hope there will be finally an official creative audigy 2 driver that is compatible What do you mean by this? Does your audigy 2 card not work in Vista? I have one (just regular version, not platinum or anything) and its ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy007 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I hope there will be finally an official creative audigy 2 driver that is compatible i'm hoping for new drivers from creative too (at least sometime soon). i had a dozen problems with the audio on 5728 using the beta drivers from creative (i have an audigy 2 zs gamer). other than that, everything seemed to work reasonably well in 5728.

User6060 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think it could use a RC2 and possibly a third release candidate before I'd put any money down on it. Well we'll see what Friday brings. Let's hope Microsoft knows what theyre doing on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech_Dude_5000 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 could RC2 feature some secrets and new things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyko_x Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 could RC2 feature some secrets and new things? Highly unlikely. They don't have enough time, and if that article is true in that they really do have 1400 bugs remaining (that they know of), the programmers have enough on their hands. God I hope they changed the maximized windows behavior..that crap is gonna be hell for epileptics :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God I hope they changed the maximized windows behavior..that crap is gonna be hell for epileptics :p I really don't understand this obsession with fact it goes black. I mean, this is ignoring the fact your comment made absolutely no sense whatsoever .... They should add an option to turn it off, but it exists for very good and sensible reasons. If you've maximised a windows, why would you want whatever is behind it to distract you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
