Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Barely hittig 100kbps here, so i found the torrent, and hoping it will pick up, over 1000 peers. 77 Seeders though, so might take a while, might not.

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

I was downloading it last night about 1900kbps but i cancelled it so i could play xbox live. I am downloading it again and now im only getting about 600kbps.

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

2.5GB and counting lol

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Bleh, 100Mb behind you :p

Got to wait til monday night to install anyway! Need another hard drive :(

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

I'm running build 5600 RC1.

Will I be able to upgrade it to RC2 or will automatic updates eventually get it up to RC2 standards? what will be different?

Does anyone know if the version of RC1's media player will let you stream video to the Xbox360?

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Done!

gooner, i'm afraid i can't answer that mate :/

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Im downloading the 64 bit version 3GB exactly so far. Why not partition your current HDD?

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Bad experiences! I have destroyed a wink 2k install before trusting repartitioning software. Right now i'm about to delete my 30Gb partition that is spare within windows and install Debian on it.

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible

well before you install debian full split the drive into 2 primarys then stick deb on the first and leave the other clear till wanted!.

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Don't fret me old mate....I'm way in front...seeing as it released on Thursday...currently running on test PC....might go back to RC1... :(

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible

Re: [MERGED] Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible

Re: Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

I think it's a bit slower than RC1...in fact - I'm sure of it... :erm:

Hope this version dosn't go gold...

Re: [MERGED] Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Hey I like Vista....so far :D

Re: [MERGED] Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Apart from a new GUI and a bunch of new features it's very similar to XP.

Of course the main change is the kernal access - or lack off...so that should improve security....

Re: [MERGED] Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Just a rubbish version of XP with nice fancy visuals. They haven't delivered on half of the features that might have made it actually a worthwhile upgrade. Methinks I'll just grab a couple of dlls here n there and just make my computer look like Vista - the appallling indexing and background **** that goes on.

Re: [MERGED] Windows Vista RC2 Now Avalible
 

Just read a couple of interesting articles about Vista's EULA. First, have a read of this one... http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase..._licensing.asp

Then, when you're done wondering how much MS pay him to be their biiiaaatch, have a read of this one... http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...sing_reply.asp

I find the 2nd article offers a much more reasoned argument as to why the EULA is so sucky-sucky. The 1st guy just appears to me to be a MS lackey, whereas the 2nd author seems to have thought about how this will affect him and the millions of other users like him.

I can't believe MS honestly thinks that only 5% of users take the side off their case to add extra components, and that restricting the EULA to only one legit transfer is gonna be acceptable. What a load of pish!

This pretty much sums it all up for me (and others I've spoken to):
