Windows Vista?

[RaZz0R]

Just wondering if anyone has Windows Vista?

I have it at the moment - duel booting between XP pro SP2 & Vista Ultimate.

Tried it in a Virtual PC first - the version I have..... umm, is a ...... test... copy... that works 100% ;) ;)


I am actually using the new firefox right now & posting from the Vista install.

Tis not too bad...

will try the 64bit version when some more drivers come out. At this stage i have a few devices that I wont be able to use due to the lack of such drivers

[RaZz0R]

ya same here - my sound card has a driver - but the software to control it dont work & there is no new one :(

but atleast I know about it with the errr "test" version.

i have been hesitant because of the driver issues too and also that I heard it has more bells and whistles and as usual uses more ram...so we have to buy faster machines yet again....I'm happy with Xp at the mo...

[RaZz0R]

yeah I got an extra gig of ram coz I knew it was coming out.

I can give you a copy of my Vista Ultimate if ya's want ;)
then you can try it out & see if others on the web have found a way to get stuff working with out problems...

You can setup duel boot or if you want you can download some software from Vmware.com & run a virtual PC & install it ;) just like a real PC - works in windows so no duel boot - you just can't really get a good feel for Vista tho but you can still see it work fine ;) - of course the software to do this is FREE!! as well ;) check it at:

Ive got 0 boot on my desktop at the moment because my new hard drive died and i had just formated my old one, im to lazy to install everything again.

you love your vmware.. if it wasnt free i think you would be trying to get a job to sell it.

[RaZz0R]

nah - its just that I LOVE that software & what it does I reckon is really cool ;) - I'll reboot to win XP & fire up 2 VMware servers & take a screen shot ;)

EDIT*

ok - my sys spec here:


Disk Config here:


Shot of VMware console for Vista:


Desktop screen shot of running Windows VIsta as a virtual PC in Windows XP :) got all that?


I also decided that while I had the Vista virtual PC going - that I'd start up my windows 2003 Virtual server at the same time & screen shot my task manager with it ;)

[mybb]

your welcome to come and set it up on my machine with both xp and vista whenever you like

[RaZz0R]

hahaha ok :) you got beer?

also why aint the image tags working?..

ah I fixed it :p - sorry it took so long - had to reboot out of Vista to XP - just have everything setup still as I always have in XP so its easy to up load from XP :p

[mybb]

lol.. no beer. I've given up drinking. No beer for me for the next 6 months

[RaZz0R]

YAY :)

If I was feeling better & you were bored I'd come up now - but I am going to game planetside all night instead :) www.planetside.com
