Colonel Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Ugh. I just downloaded the Vista Beta 2. I don't want to download it again. Microsoft is making too frequent releases.

Sabr Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Looks like they improved the install time by quite alot... That review reports it took just 30 minutes! Quite an improvement!

macprodan Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Install has been very poor for me for all Vista Beta's lets hope this one is Better, still think it can be cut in half. OS X installs in no time, why cant vista, after all both cores and faster harddisk access via proper drivers should make it so.

tripleboot Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I've been able to install 5456, 5384/4 and 5342 but after the first reboot when everything has installed I get an error screen. I've had no problems dual booting any of the Vista builds prior to 5342. I've tried using my Suse 10.1 install DVD to fix boot options with no luck. I've also loaded drivers from floppy when I was installing my Vista 5456 for my Raid. What a pain in the ***. I think this is the exact same reason I can't boot into OSx86 10.4.5 or 4.6. Installs go fine and reboots I get errors. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20516-windows-vista-build-5456/#findComment-136814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartboy919 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Ok, first off, STOP COMPLAINING, THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE! As with most Beta software it will not work like a finalized product. I dont know why people are bitching and saying "I get such and such error" or "Vista sucks it to slow" Im sure that if you can remember, Windows XP in early stages wasnt to reliable. and that was when it required only 64 MB of RAM! of course Vista will hog alot of recsources, This must last till 2010 at the very least. Im not saying Vista is great or anyything im just saying dont judge it now its not complete. I am in vista 5456 right this very frigan second, and it it 110% better than the initial release of Beta 2. It is much more reliable and runs pretty well with my system, and let me tell you, I have cream of the {censored} hardware. here are my specs at a glance. 512 mb of ram - Not bad but could be better Nvidia FX 5200 card- pretty crapy, doesnt even have a fan, Just barly geting Aero Gigabyte GeForce 2 motherboard- has an AGP slot, Lan port doesnt work AMD sempron 902MHz- OMG WTF Crapy hareware-O-Rama! lite on DVD drive- No writable drive 2 HDD, 40 and 4 GB- Very low memory and I dont even know the RPM the 40 GB one is Westerndigital So there you go, you look at my specs and say "how the hell is thig guy running vista with aero?" So please, if i can run vista and have a pretty good experiance dont complain. and remember ITS A BETA!!!

REVENGE Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 5456 is a tremendous leap in performance from Beta 2's 5384. This is no more apparent than in Office 2007 Beta 2, where PowerPoint 2007 was unusably slow under 5384, but 100% responsive under 5456. Other than that, please don't shoot yourself in the foot like I did and do an upgrade install. Several windows components stopped functioning afterwards, and my video card driver is f***ed so that I can no longer run opengl games like TA Spring without a shiitload of problems.

Mnemonicman Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 5456 is quite better than 5384. Of course there is still the problem with opengl games barely working and some direct3d game working and some not so much. It's beta so there's little point in complaining that something doesn't work. Other than that little bit about the games it's quite good. That said I think I'll switch back to XP64 until either vista is finished or I build a better pc.

The difference in performance between Beta 2 and 5456 is substantial. It will be very interesting to test next interim build and the upcoming RC1.

domino Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I have no plans on upgrading every monthly build. Is 5384 stable enough to use with photoshop, flashmx, browsing, all Office 2007 apps, and waching movies? More importantly, is it stable enough to play StarCraft with the 9800pro? I'd install it myself, but i'll have to do some major partition shuffling to be able to install vista. I need feedback first.

tripleboot Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 A new release will be out in a few days and it will be much better on CPU as another resourse hog has been eliminated from Vista.

Auggie Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm with MacSpaces. I also had a lot of issues with all Vista beta versions (I stopped testing at 5384.4 and just went to OS X 10.4.7 (hackintosh). I'd like to boot Vista as well but I got horrible wireless support and function in it.

tripleboot Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Installed beta 2 with VMware. Worked nice and have several programs installed including. Winamp, AVG anti-virus. It also has build in creative sound drivers that works really nice. You don't have to worry about it screwing up your system. I've got 5 virtual OS installed right now. If anyone wants to try it out and you run into any jams give me a PM and I'll try to help. If you haven't used VMware before here is some tid-bits on it. http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/ http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/rel...notes_ws55.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20516-windows-vista-build-5456/#findComment-145615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I've used a few different builds, and this is the first that I've been able to use and forget that it's a beta. It's very quick, but I just bought a new HP dv5020us laptop with the 64-bit Turion processor. It has 1GB RAM and a 128MB dedicated ATI 200M graphics chip. I'm very happy with this machine. Vista runs great on it, too. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20516-windows-vista-build-5456/#findComment-146007 Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting Vista installed I couldn't boot back into XP even after using VistaBoot2.
