Windows vista
 

Is anyone using the windows vista o/s yet ??? Im just wondering if telewests broadband installation cd will run on it , and if not do they have one in the pipeline ??
I know the o/s is still a beta , and rc1 and 2 are out . It has just been released to rtm,s so itl be available to all new pc builds from now on.
Any help is appreciated , thanks.

Why do you need to run the Broadband installer at all?

Re: Windows vista
 

Unless you are using a USB connection, there is no need to run any of the installation CDs, just ensure your network settings are set to pikc up the IP and DNS automatically and when connected to your modem that should get you on the internet.

If you are using USB, the question has to be why. A PC capable of running vista should have a network card and that is much more functional than USB.

:D I'm using Vista RC1 public and RC2 releases, and both work perfectly fine on Telewest;) And as stated above, no need for CD;)

Re: Windows vista
 

Might apply to telewest to but im on Vista RTM (Final) and all is fine, im even seeing a bit more bandwidth the on XP :s

Re: Windows vista
 

That may well be down to the shoddy way that XP implemented QoS?

You naughty boy, you been downloading?
I go genuine Vista Ultimate Full Retail in in Jan anyway, thanks to ms :D

Re: Windows vista
 

Nope my mate works at ms ;) Mine is legit :p

Re: Windows vista
 

Legit as in it fell off the back of the lorry legit then...

Re: Windows vista
 

LOL But ya it activates :p

Re: Windows vista
 

Is that the activates until June, when all unreleased keys will de-activate?
Everybody can activate a copy of Vista RTM with a Vista RC1 and 2 Key, but it will not stay active ;)

Re: Windows vista
 

There'll be some method of making it stay active by then :D

Re: Windows vista
 

There already is :D
Problem is, after June you will not be able to get updates or Ulimate extras. Get freindly with some MS top dogs, and you get fully legal Vista for nawt :D I made a few contacts with a m8 who delt with Mr BIG himself at QE2 conference . Not only did he arrange to get Vista for nawt, but he got base units ordered with it Pre-installed :tu: :tu: :tu: Walked out of there with XP discs, Visual studio Pro 2005, Server 2003 and a stack of other MS goodies . Guess it's just a case of who ya know :D

That's a lesson I learnt very early on :)
