I've got XP installed on one hard drive, with Vista Beta 2 installed on a separate physical drive. XP is the Primary boot drive. Will it be safe to do an Upgrade install of RC1 from within Beta 2 without screwing my XP installation? Thanks in advance

Hi I don't know if anyone can help, but the last beta (customer release one) I sent for it on DVD and when I had problems with it not working with my Speedtouch 330 I threw it in the bin, so that I wasn't tempted to load it up again so I have no key! -- technogran

Yes, there is a NDA for Connect, Just FYI. All of you guys who are talking about Windows Vista Build 5536, are in Violation of that NDA, and will indeed be removed from the Windows Vista Technical Beta. "firth" wrote in message ... Is there an NDA for Connect users that have access to Vista, or...

This link http://download.windowsvista.com/preview/prerc1/en/download.html has been given, whihc I'm downloading now. But what about the PK? Do I use my 5384 (from CPP) PK? I would go search for it on the net, but that PK would be 'used'.

I wonder if there's any truth to this. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=software&articleId=9002806&taxonomyId=18

All, Is it worth while downloading 5536? or should I wait for RC1? Anyone know the dates on RC1, will this build be the same build that's going ship for RC1, I am guessing that no SDK will be released for this build. Steve

Hello. I downloaded Windows Vista Pre-RC1 using Akamai Download Manager on Windows Vista website but at the end of the download, the download manager tells me that the downlad is corrupt. I've checked the MD5 Checksum myself and it's wrong. I think I will download the file again but I would like to know what's the cause of this problem (I experienced the same problem with Beta 2 : I had to

What is the latest release date that Microsoft has suggested? "Chad Harris" wrote: There are indications to me. Delay is in fact being hotly debated by your friends at Redmond. There are a slew of arguments right now between PMs who know are ready to push to get anything signed off and developers who know much is broken.

What is the latest news on the final release date of Windows Vista for the customer and what memory on graphics card should I buy if I am not a gamer (128MB or 256MB)? Thanks

All of our hopes, all of our worries, all of whatever feelings we may have for Windows Vista are hanging on the edge of a precipice. Will they ship it on time? Will they ever ship it? Does it even matter? Increasingly, the actual...

I noticed problems with window mode/full screen mode when running DOS programs from the Vista command line "cmd.exe". Let us take as example an MS-DOS program which you will find e.g. at INTEL. It is the CPU command line identification tool CPUID.EXE. This program shows up fine in window or full screen mode when started from the "cmd.exe"-window until Windows 2000. When started under Windows...

I'm surprised that Pre-RC1 release has aproximately 1Gb less than Beta 2. That's what I think to remember. Some one wondered what was on this Gb removed by Microsoft? Regards, Angel.

Submitted this bug against a previous seed, but it's still there in 5536 (so I submitted it *again*). Anybody else able to confirm this?

When I logon to a domain with a disabled network card (cached mode), Vista "forgets" all Group Policies. I tried this on two different machines. When I enable the network card and run gpupdate /force the Group Polices still don't load. Only after rebooting everything works again. I had no other problems with Group Policies on these Vista machines. I tried the same with WinXP in this domain....
