What Microsoft software product has even been called "VERY stable"....

let me rephrase then...

i won't use vista until it is reviewed to be as stable as XP is.

how can one obtain Vista right now? im interested in trying it out on my Mac. I just got done updating XP Pro completely and runs great. I hardly ever run windows anymore but I have it for those apps that must use it.

few options right now...

just find a torrent with it, theres two ways of activation the BIOS method and then the server method

Here's a screen shot from Vista Final on my computer :icon_rr:

Looks good, but is it a hog?

[Jim]

Well put it this way... I will be adding another 1gb of ram asap...

[MrScary]

Do you get those add on things with vista or is there a way to get em with XP, the clock and such

I sure hope I dont need more than 2Gig of ram in my Mac. It will cost nearly $600-700 to upgrade to the full 3Gigs right now.

What torrent did you use to get it? any other ways I could possibly get it from you and how to do the Bios reg?

[Jim]

I just used usenet... it was much faster...

[Guest]

which newsgroup did you go to for it jim?

[Jim]

I PM'd you chuck.

Actually 1GB of ram isn't bad... even with all the 3D effects turned on... i just noitce a higher percentage in use then w/ XP

k thx

[Jim]

I crashed Vista... BSOD, but it has something to do w/ the creative beta sound card drivers im using...

we'll see how stable it is after all the manufacters get thier real drivers out...

[Guest]

all I can find on the NG that you sent me to was a beta of vista. What news server do you use?
