rune Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 just tried the proper release on my computer, nice presentation, enhanced visuals and very little driver support, what a load of crap lolRefused to install my graphics, sound and network drivers, after a lengthy search on the net it appears there is no support either. Fuck vista i aint touching it. Stay well clear at any cost. Can't even uninstall and i am left with a dead os, just aswell i put it on a different partition or i would be really fucked. Wont even let me delete the directory from xp :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I thought Vista was only for business users just now? ie. not ready for commercial use anyway, even if you did nick it off the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 The beta version was "released" to the public, not the proper version.This link says that corporate customers will be able to get it come the 30th. Because Vista isn't available until January.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6130604.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 whats a beta version?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_stage#BetaI suspect Rune is talking about one of the Release Candidate versions of Vista rather than a Beta version. He might even be talking about the final release because it should be finished now if corporate customers are getting it on the 30th of this month.My verdict? Use OS X instead.

One of my friends tried it out last month and said it has compatibility issues with heaps of stuff it's not even funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 What are you?My thoughts exactly.rune, you must have downloaded the beta, or the manufacturer version (ie for companies to get accustomed to the dynamics of the OS for software development and use of applications, not for home use).There's no way it's the retail version because it isn't out till 30th January 2007.For anyone who hasn't seen what Vista looks like, here is a screenshot:hmm...that doesn't look like a certain OS that runs on Apple's...

Alvin Starclusk Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I've got the latest RC installed on my machine, which runs OK considering my PC was built about 2 and a half years ago and has an even older processor. Only problem is it won't pick up my wireless network, which means no internet, which means it is essentially useless. Looks nice though.

Scootray Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 It certainly does look nice. Nicking a bit of style from Apple wasn't a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
