QUOTE(mzaidi @ Feb 27 2007, 04:16 AM) Anybody here using Windows Vista & Sony Ericsson's phone, can you get the Sony Ericsson PC Suite to work? SE is currently working on next version of pc suite that will be vista compatible, and is due to release in 2nd half of 2007I've tried Vista RTM version before, and can't get the PC Suite to install. IIRC, it prompt an error that I need Windows XP to install the program. I've tried running the installer in XP Compatibility mode, but it still won't work. Since Vista final version has been released (and Sony Ericsson probably has updated the PC Suite to support Vista), anybody can get the PC Suite to work now? I checked at Sony Ericsson's site and it mention that the OS requirements are Windows 2000 SP3/SP4, XP SP1/SP2 (Professional and Home). It didn't mention Vista at all.

I think it wont make a difference, even a rm 150 PCI-E cards is enough to run Aero, although with fewer framerates.will it be better? my vista experience index is 4.0 |

QUOTE(wsho71 @ Feb 27 2007, 05:00 PM) You means you get the Vista Business Edition for free? Yup, full version. I'm not sure whether it's retail or OEM version. They're not giving Vistas in Retail boxes for sure. To get the Vista, we must bring your Student ID and a piece of blank DVD. Each student will be given unique cd-key. According to the MS rep, the cd-key is valid till 2012.The process to get the Vista is tedious. You have to queue up at any booth, complete a task (answer some questions, watch their demo, etc), and they'll give you 1 stamp. There are 7 booths, but you only need to collect 5 stamps, and then you can claim your copy of Vista. I queued for 3 1/2 hours before I got mine.

my friend tells me that all the vista in the market are ultimate copy inside the DVD.but the difference lies in the product key only, which will then determine the version of vista that's going to be installed. is that true?
i'm asking becoz i've never browse through the disc for home and ultimate. |
