Posting this from Vista now
I had to install it two times :dead:
The first time everything went well, and I tried to install the Audigy drivers that were released from the previous build...bad idea. The system got locked and crashed, therefore rebooting everytime even before it got to the use logon screen. I tried recovering but didn't work...since it was like 2 am I just decided to wipe out and reinstall it over.
Gfx card, it recognizes my ATI 9600XT, but only as a 9600 instead. I'm not sure if I should install the Omegas or not, since the pretty glass effect will be disabled (I know there's the reg hack, but I'm not sure if its still available or not).
Network, it didn't recognize my Intel ethernet connection (I still find this really surprising), but I don't really mind it now since I use my wireless instead. I installed my Dell Truemobile 1180 USB adapter using the XP drivers and it works great
.
Performance wise, I see a little improvement compared to December's CTP, but it still has a way to go. It took a full 10 minutes or so before the system was completely loaded (by completely loaded I mean the hard drive light stops blinking madly).
Things that still tick the hell outta me:
- I have to press Allow on every little operation I ask for
- There's no "Allow Always" button set for those operations
- The logon picture in the logon screen is really distorted since its made bigger than its actual resolution (I know this is a minor detail, but still)
I probably have more to add to the list, but I just woke up, so its all I can think of now
