Yes Mikee i did have a lot of time to spare with that trick. I was on Vac for that week. It can be done.
As i said it is just in beta and not dialed down. Also i just found some interesting info out. Some i knew some i didnt.
Beta tester are now given each a unique key. That i knew. But if the key is leaked and used for activation not only is that key leaked but they are also kicked from the beta. So unless someone knows how to hack Vista it will be harder than heck to get it to activate now.

do you think i could run vista on an amd k6-2 500MHZ with 192MB RAM???

[Mak213]

Maybe. It would be as slow as a snail in molasses but it oculd work. But to forwarn you Vista does have some issues with installing on AMD chipsets.

No it will not run on my old PC while running a virtual PC it said Vista required a minimum of 256 to run for a recent Build I think it may have been the October CTP.


(Just finished building my new PC yay)

All we can do now is wait and hope that this build gets rolled out and Paul's sources wern't wrong!

is windows vista useing Internet Explorer 7?

didn't they ripoff firefox tab browseing?

[Tyler1989]

JD,

Yes it uses IE 7 and no it didn't steal it from Fire Fox because FireFox/Mozilla did not "invent" tabbed browsing free enterprise.


Warez,

You forgot to mention he also said that the Decemember CTP will be feature complete and all that is left is to work out bugs.

[Tyler1989]

I wonder since they call it "feature complete" if we will see the return of the sidebar we have been promised a return but I do not see it in the screen shots so far. I'll be installing the 64 bit edition tonight.
