Vista 5744 (RC2) currently available...

For those with keys.

Friday, October 6, 2006 by Corky_O | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Since I have not seen anyone else post the download link, I thought some might be interested.

The link below will take you to the download page for Vista RC2, which is currently available.

I recommend using the Akamai download manager link.

Note - this is for 32-bit version. [Edit - they have added the 64-bit as well]

OK, Vista itself is quick, but the beta nVidia drivers (96.3.3) aint so good. UT2004 runs at 20fps instead of the 200+fps I'm used to, and there's no way to enable SLi... still, there's a long way to go.

If you need AV, then avast! 4 works fine. AVG was supposed to be ok but Vista blocks one of the files...

PSP 7.04 works ok too. So does Firefox (thankfully, I really don't like IE7).

It's ok as an experiment, but I'll most likely stick to XP when Vista is released.

The install process time will depend on which method you use.

...

Speed of the OS will obviously depend in a large part upon the hardware of the machine it is installed on.


Hah, yeah, I know. I was just trying to poke some fun at all the Vista fanboys who can't donwload it fast enough...

I do not know why you even bother with "vista". It is meant to obtain capital not to provide a true experience in computing. Go out and purchase a Windows XP 64-bit version and have some real fun!! "vista" is nothing more than a bell and whistle version for the mediocre user. Remenber the "Me" version ... ???? DO NOT BUY IT!!!
