Vista RC2
« on: October 15, 2006, 01:42 PM »
I just got a new box. Not the one that I really wanted... But that's 10k too :)

Anyways, I'm slapping Vista RC2 on it and curious as to how people have found it (if you use it).

Cheers,

Ryan

Don't forget the "don't care / havent tried it" option. ;)

Being able to actually edit a poll is pretty cool. Wonder if that's in Vista :)

Actually, I'm pretty impressed so far. Haven't done anything much, but it's looking very cool. Jury is still out...

I have had a play but unistalled it again pretty quickly. Doesn't seem to have any WiFi card drivers so I can't access the internet without rewiring the house - and it won't install XP drivers.

I can see how that would be a pain (WiFi). The new box will take me at least 1~2 weeks to setup the way I like things, then I'll be able to upgrade to Vista when the final release is out. 

I've heard good things about Vista RC2, but still curious to hear from others.

The new box is an Intel E6600, so it's pretty quick. So far things are looking ok but I haven't even install Visual Studio yet (or anything else for that matter).

Mmm.. lack of stable(ish) drivers is what kept me from "testing" RC2.

I have a midi card and Vista doesn't have drivers for it. Yamaha stated they will consider drivers for it when Vista is officially released.
