Marshmellow Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Thats Right Windows Vista Beta 2 is finally available to the public! It may be downloaded from Microsoft here it says its still only for IT pro's etc. and not to be used on home machines but I say whatever! I hope you guys enjoy this i sure will. I wouldn't bother downloading it, it says it will take 4 1/2hours for a 3mb connection and those always seem fast. So its probably better to order the DVD and also that way you have it. I'm ordering it right now! SO excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmellow Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 BETA stuff > regular software. Just because theres never really any major problems ands its about a gazillion times cheaper. I don't have genuine windows :p so this will help me out lots. I can't wait, but i got to start backing up all my data! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Mine took 2 hours to download on my 2mb connection going 200+ kb/s all the time. I dont think I'll install it though because my dad wont want me to on the windows PC.... Its good to have a legal copy of it though, maybe because I was such a good beta tester (ha) they'll give me the full version for free when it's relesesed//// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I used it a few weeks ago. It's pretty stable but there were still some driver issues. Otherwise it was good and Aero looks really awesome. Also, when i turned on my 360 Vista automatically detected it and asked if I wanted to stream stuff to it, that was really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmellow Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 its alright . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 its alright . I would slap him. Eh. We'll see how this ends up, reports of development have beem disastrous at best with loads of features being cut out, specially that important revolutionary file system. I still don't know if I'll use it right away, since it will make the PC slower. I have a great PC but still... We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Be warned that the game performance is not as good as in xp currently. There is ~20fps drop in some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
