It has different names on different browser, I don't see any problem with MS using a different name for it. Average users that wants dumbed down and gimmicky words... whilst you and I might understand RSS feeds I'm sure the thousands of aunts and uncles out there would much rather have a name like "Web Feeds" or "Live Bookmarks" than more techno-babble acronyms.

guys, are there any drivers for creative SB live?

more detail: i tried dl-ing the drivers, but it can't detect my card now >< do i need to cabut d card and use my onboard? but how? i mean it wont suddenly magically detect rite?

My onboard sound (soundmax cadenza; p4pe) works fine. And yes it will be detected automatically (the onboard sound). Re-install the onboard sound drivers if no osund comes out though. Use WinXP compatability mode if you need to.

yeah. i did exactly that and the thing works fine now. wonder y it cant detect my card..

It's not only you. All the other SB Live users are facing the same thing. There are workarounds (not 100% perfect though). Didn't read the workarounds since not using one. I can find out for you though (and for the other shy testers in LY.net with SB Live)

wahh..not bad...vista komanwel in bukit jalil release new windows vista???cool.....or did microsoft cetak rompak vista from vista komanwel??i wonder??

but personally...the name sux.....windows longhorn is nicer....

Stop commenting about the name la
Longhorn is the codename and Vista is the official name, it's the fact already

The name itself doesn't imply in any way how the system performs, or looks like
Would people refrain from using Windows Vista just because its name sucks? I doubt

where can i get a preview for the beta version
er...mayb the original beta test version

Well, try applying at http://beta.microsoft.com and cross your fingers.

thx...
hope can get...

it isnt stable enough... always crash coz of little fault..

anyway... any vista tester here mind to share what's ur soundcard?
my xwave4000 is down.. gonna replace new soundcard n bigger ram..

n ... nero.. supported?

Probably it will be easier to be part of the Vista beta in Beta 2 (or you can go for the CPP (customer preview program).

Vista is working fine for me, and my sound card was a Creative SoundBlaster (I just changed PC, so I'm selling this sound card...) which worked on Vista.

Yes, Nero is supported on Vista.

If possible, direct all your Vista issues to the official NG (if you got it from MSDN, post your issues in the public NG at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=42486

my fren using both xp n vista on his notebook
it looks greaty....

MS Vista ig going to sell its OS for a low [price.

Microsoft is talking up support for hardware-based security in Windows Vista, though only a sliver of the company's original plan will make it into the operating system.

Three years ago Microsoft unveiled Palladium, renamed Next-Generation Secure Computing Base after the original name became tainted with controversy over privacy and fair-use issues and because another company claimed rights to the Palladium name. The technology was to be part of the next Windows release.

NGSCB promised to boost PC security by using hardware and software that would allow parts of a computer to be isolated from malicious code such as viruses and worms. It also would foil attacks that use logging devices by encrypting data as it moves between a PC's hardware components. NGSCB required significant changes to hardware and software.

In May 2004, following criticism from software makers, Microsoft said it was retooling NGSCB so some of the benefits would be available without the need to recode applications. The company has been silent on the plan since, though it insists NGSCB is not dead. Instead, its delivery is still to be determined, according to Microsoft's Web site.

Now Microsoft is busy telling hardware and software makers about Secure Startup in Windows Vista, which it says is the "first delivery" on its hardware-based security plan. Vista, previously known by its code name, Longhorn, is the next client release of Windows due on store shelves in time for the next year's holiday shopping season.

Secure Startup is primarily designed to prevent laptop thieves and other unauthorized users with physical access to a computer from getting access to the data on the system. Nearly half of all enterprises had laptops stolen, causing $4.1 million in damage, according to a January survey by the Computer Security Institute and the FBI.

"The number one goal is to prevent attackers from using software tools to get at information that is at rest on the hard drive," Stephen Heil, a technical evangelist at Microsoft said in a presentation at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco last week.

Yet another summary of Nigel Page's discussion on Vista hardware reqs. I think this version is clearer because the summary categorises the hardware.

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2005/09/07/vista_hardware_reqs/

I understand that this is not official and probably only a speculation, but isn't the hardware reqs a bit over the top for something that will be released around xmas this year?

If an X800 runs modestly, how badly does it perfom to Kevin's 9200?

Anymore reviews or comments from anyone else using Vista?
