Shame on you

Heh, been using the RTM build since yesterday. Didn't realize there was a public leak already though.

 

[LikeyLicky]

Just wondering, with the RTM that is released, when using the RC1 product key, what version will you end up getting? eg Home, starter, ultimate???

And if it turns out to be just the Home version, is it possible to recreate the iso and rename the file (eg install_Windows Vista HOMEBASIC.clg that is located in the x:\sources folder) to ultimate?

EDITED for some support
thx madmatt

Uhh? Crack? You haven't read the forum guidelines have you?

In other words, nobody will respond to your message. Buy the software legally or don't ask for support on this forum. Thank you.

Honestly, Vista uses about 2GB of RAM to act like Windows XP with 1GB of ram.

Back those claims up? Maybe define them more?

I believe the ability to use your RC1 key won't last for too long.

In regards to the DVD however, each version of Vista will be on it. It depends on the PID you enter as to which version will get unlocked. Eventhough you can pick a version and not enter a key for 30 days, but then you will need the right key for that version at the end of that 30 day period.

Vista RC1 on my 3800-X2 with 1 gig of Ram and the X1600 pro runs super smooth and I got a 4.5 vista score

It runs really nice will all eye candy enabled bu default.

I just read an article that says gaming will be 10 to 15 percent slower on Vista than they are on XP.

MICROSOFT is telling its selected gaming industry chaps that gaming under Vista will be ten to fifteen per cent slower than XP. It is because you have to load the 3D desktop all the time.

So if you play Battlefield 2 or FEAR or any other popular game you are likely to get lower frame rates with Vista. That is certainly not a good buying argument but don’t think you and I have much choice as it looks like a take it or leave it deal. I like Vista as the 3D desktop looks sexy but that is probably its key feature.

Also went on to say that DirectX 10 games will not run at all on XP.

I only saw Professional, at first glance.
Basic would have done me tho to be honest, I only use Excel, Word and Outlook.
