Windows Vista

[crispee]

I've just installed and played a bit on windows vista beta2 version. GUI is nice, better support on my VGA compared to WinXP experience. Everything works, except my soundcard.

May ka-TF bang naka-evaluate na rin ng Windows Vista?

crispee anong specs ng pc gamit mo..how is the performance? ..

[crispee]

Here's my test machine:

-P4 2.6 Ghz (socket 478) codename prescott
-1GB X 2 DDR400 PC3200 RAM
-160GB ATA100
-Radeon9600/ 128MB Dual VGA
-Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard

accesories:
-wacom pad - very well supported. Very smooth & accurate

-AVG anti-virus is not compatible


Yan lang muna kasi kalalagay ko nga lang kanina. I am not using dual boot nga pala. OS is installed on separate HD.

So far, ok naman ang operation niya. Eto nga pala ang Vista Upgrade Advisor. (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx) Pang-testing kung pwede ang hardware mo sa version na ito.

Ganda naman pla specs ng PC mo...
Puede na kaya itest ito sa bagong MAC Dou

[crispee]

Hi,
Hindi ko masasagot yan Thermo. Pero kung ok lang sa iyo na mawala ang warranty ng Mac Duo mo, pwede mong testingin. Subukan mong i-download at install ang Vista Upgrade Advisor (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx).

Balitaan mo ako;)

Hi. Nasubukan ko na rin ang Vista Beta 2. Installed it on my travelmate. The OS itself looks great kaso mukhang masyadong mataas ang requirements para sa notebook ko. Di nga gumagana ang Aero effects sa akin. :weep:

Get the Vista look, but beware of hairy install.


If you're just dying for the Vista look, and have the courage to deal with a scary installation, grab a copy of Vista Transformation Pack 6. It makes XP look, feel, and to some extent, act like Vista using icons, themes, a docking bar, and a new clock. It uninstalls like any other application, but make sure to set a Restore Point just in case.

Version 5.5 is available at PC WOLRD.com (http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,64389/description.html?tk= nl_hsxdwn) while V6.0 is hosted at JCXP.net (http://www.jcxp.net/forums/index.php?showtopic= 13415)

Nasubukan kong pareho ang dalawang version. Mas maganda at mahusay ang pagkakayari ng Version 6.0. Remember to back-up, set a restore point before everything else. Kung hindi, isipin na lang natin na laging nasa huli ang pagsisisi.;)

hmm gumana ba lahat ng hardwares mo?
kasi yung saking hindi supported ang PCI + Audio Driver
pag Vista ako or x64bit edition

[michael_jp]

Wow! Gusto ko na rin na mag Vista. By the way, ano ba ang merit ng Vista against XP (excluding the nice GUI)?

[infinite_trial]

me thinks me needs one helluva laptop to run vista hehe...i'll just wait for the final release
kapag microsoft kasi

beta actually means alpha
final release actually means beta
patches and service packs actually means final release

xp muna ako

btw, updated na daw ang software ng zune para sa vista.

Hello guy26,
Sa evaluation ng Vista sa box ko, so far wala naman trouble sa mga hardwares at chipsets ng M/B. Ang may conflict ay mga softwares. Hindi raw compatible sa Vista:)

Pero kung ang susubukan mo ay ang "transformation pack", palagay ko ay walang problema sa machine mo. It is not the vista you are installing but the software that makes your XP looks and feel like Vista itself.

If you have the guts, try it with precaution.

[crispee]

final release actually means beta

This is really true, IT. Napatawa ako dito.:D

Wanna try the transformation pack? Alam ko you have already tweaked your XP, hehehe.

wow ibig mong sabihin kuya hindi na kailangan mag reformat pa para maging vista pag XP pro kana install mo lang ang transformation pack para mag mukang VISTA na ang GUI? tama po ba ako? at saan naman po na dodownload?

ako rin pa tweaked!..

Hindi daw po dito tinotolerate ang pirata sabi ng mga kuya ko lagi nga rin ako dating napagsasabihan haha!

Opo tama po kayo dyan, sabi nga ng mga Critics 99% bugholes daw ang MS Products and 1% software! (sa isip ko naman, magaling ang strategy nila sa market hindi muna nila nilalabas ang final outcome ng product alam muna baka ma pirata pa!) e kung bibile ka nga naman ng authentic na maraming bugholes sulit rin dahil matatapalan naman yun kada update mo sa kanila, unlike bumile ka sa bangketa ng pirata, nagnakaw ka na maaring ma sira pa ang pc mo!

ah buti naman po Sir michael_jp

[aeroguy30]

mas maganda sigurong hintayin ko na lang ang final release ng vista, kapag naayos na nila ang mga bugs... dito muna ako sa XP... :D:D:D

[aeroguy30]

Just finish installing the trasformation pack 6 on my pc. The graphics are nice, the sidebar plus the gadgets you can install. Love the glass effect, even my other programs change it's looks.

However, recommend that you must have at least a minimum of 512MB RAM for this program uses to much memory.

The only glitch I found is that my Command & Conquer PC Game crashes, even my MS Office 2003 and Visio 2003 ask for their installation CD. Still need to play more and find what other programs got affected. But, aside from this everything is running smoothly. Will keep you posted... :D:D:D

[lisa143]

Me also, finished installing the vista transformation pack! and my computer looks great now,pati sounds iba! H!H!H! Run the VISTA upgrade advisor and my computer passed for upgrade, kaya lang sa NERO at ZoneAlarm Antivirus ko medyo conflict! Ganda talaga ng kulay at icons ng vista. Spec.ng pinag gamitan ko,PentiumD 3.4,RAM 1024 mb,graphics Gigabyte 512mbX 2 sli.:)

[crispee]

The Vista look is really refreshing to the eye especially when you love eye candy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_candy).

Kung medyo sawa ka na sa dull and simple sytle ng iyong desktop at pasado ang pc mo sa requirements, this pack is highly recommended. You can even uninstall the program later.

;)

[aeroguy30]

I didn't encounter any more problem with this program in my pc except for my Command and Conquer PC Game it still crashes on me especially in the middle of the game. Still working on the bugs... :confused: guess I'll play Kohan II "Kings of War" in the meantime.

Like crispee is saying, the graphics and sounds are really nice although the downside is kailangan malakas ang specs ng pc mo lalo na ang memory which nagdagdag ako ng additional 512MB.

Here are the specs of my PC:

Pentium 4/ Intel 2.66GHz
1024GB RAM
120GB Hard Disk
DVD R/RW Drive
CD R/RW Drive
Zip Drive 250MB
ATI All In Wonder 128 Pro (128MB)

[aeroguy30]

lisa143 bakit hindi mo subukang gumamit ng Roxio instead of Nero maganda siyang program to burn your cd and dvd. At sa antivirus naman bakit hindi mo rin try ang Norton Internet Security mas comprehensive siya kaysa sa standard anti virus... suggestion lang po... :D:D:D

Ako kasi tatlong programs ang gamit ko for CD and DVD burning, Clone CD/ Clone DVD, Nero at Roxio 7
