Windows Vista

VMware is MUCH faster than VPC in general.
To say a OS is faster than another one is totaly stupid, because you can compare them and since they're very hardware oriented they run completely different on every computer.

Soon Vista Beta 2 will came out..

[samusXP]

I got the new Beta. It runs very well, although it still has a few bugs. Especially in the "glass" theme. It sometimes has graphical irregularities in it. Overall performance is worse than Windows XP, which is to be expected because of all that is happening at one time. "explorer.exe" now runs twice to make windows transparent. Hopefully all the bugs will be ironed out before the final version is released.

How about security features in Windows Vista? Is there good compatibility?

I have build 5270 as well, tis very nice, although, they have some aero glass performance issues to sort out, since I can see lagging on my 7800..

Otherwise it's good, apart from nVidias crappy drivers.

Errm....
I don't experience any problems with my old 5600 FX card. It runs fine, Vista, aero, 3D-Windows switching, Media Centre, everything works like a charme for me

Anyone here tried the developer Windows 8 preview? I'm just grabbing it now.

I was installing windows 7 from vista home premium sp2, while it was installing the screen went black for over 20 minutes so i restarted the computer manually. A few other people have had this problem which Microsoft engineers had no definite fix for. what happens is it says something like "error. unexpected restart" then it restarts the computer and when it loads it automatically shows the windows 7 set up installer. (there's no escape) I tried all the safe modes and running with cmd, but nothing worked.

Very few people were able to fix this and the others rolled back to their old versions of windows. Unfortunately the installer didn't offer me that option. i haven't got any of the recovery disks for the computer nor recovery or back up points. windows recovery failed and memory diagnostics showed no problems.

The only option ( I think ) is to boot something from usb. and trying to install windows 7 again after using a portable os but first deleting all of windows 7 and my previous os (vista home edition)

anyone got any guide that wont take hours or possible solution to this stupid window 7 error????
