The Windows Vista Pre-RC1 (and above) thread

Ok, I now have reason to believe this build sucks, build 5600 was far better. For these problems alone I can conclude this build is shit.

1) Breaks daemon tools 3.33 and Clonedrive
2) When editing in Macromedia Flash 8, the whole app slows down from time to time, never happened in build 5600.

So, more or less. AVOID this build, i'm reinstalling 5600 as we speak.

Hmm, sounds bad. I don't believe that Microsoft has broken all virtual drives with purpose since that would make a lot of people upset - and that can't be a good thing.
Have you tried a fresh install of it? Considering of what you say, I'll test it on a Virtual Machine, I think.

What do you take me for? I know what i'm talking about :p - I never do upgrades, always fresh installs infact I installed it twice and encountered numerous bsod's along the way - as far as i'm concerned build 5600 is better. 5728 didn't add anything and broke stuff so that gives me reason to say proceed with caution.

But it would make more sense to upgrade Vista since it's your primary OS, ya know? Anyway, it doesn't seem like Vista likes VMWare, so I'll hold off installing that build.

It wouldn't let me upgrade, compatibility issues or some crap; doesn't matter, build 5600 was way more tested than 5728 was. It seemed it broke more than it fixed.

Figures, but you didn't mention that.
But to think there is a newer build that is WORSE than the release candidate? And I spent 2 hours downloading it :/

Ah yes, you can change some things. You can select a few presets or change the colors yourself. It is available in the control panel, so no problem.

I just found out that MSN Messenger is not built in Windows Vista (I'm so slow).
So that means you have to download it separately?

Correct but thats not exactly difficult nor does it take a long time to do.

Yes, you would. You did not read that you can't uninstall Vista?
