Latest build of 5270 has smaller icons.

Vista should have default drivers included for Geforce 4 mx 440. But you will not be able to have the transparancy efffect (no LDDM driver for Geforce 4)

vista renamed as well isnt it? What was the new codename?

Still vista i think

Vista is the final name

Windows Vista Build 5308 screenshot leaked:

tis is the only 1 ss...

that screenshot shows that there are still somebody love the classic theme..

i think windows vista shoudln't put classic theme for the final product..it just make me feel haunted (feels like using win98 now)...

btw looking forward for the final product..i wonder what Apple will come out next..

By default, Vista will be using Aero theme. However some users will opt to continue using the classic theme as they wouldn't want to relearn the new interface (usually in corporate environment, where classic theme is used to minimize support calls).

Neowin has a list of the upcoming Windows Vista versions...

Windows Starter 2007
Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows Vista Home Basic N
Windows Vista Home Premium
Windows Vista Business
Windows Vista Business N
Windows Vista Ultimate
Windows Vista Enterprise

Windows Vista team is about to cause by offering up 8 different platters might be a little much. Here's the rundown for the rest of you:

Windows Starter 2007 - Vista without Aero, probably meant for developing nations.

Windows Vista Home Basic - Basic Windows Vista for your single PC fam, doesn't sound like much going on here. Analagous to XP Home.

Windows Vista Home Basic N - European version of the same, but without Media Player (because of antitrust rulings against MS in the EU).

Windows Vista Home Premium - This is the one we're all probably gonna own. It's got Media Center functionality, Cable Card support, the whole home-media shebang.

Windows Vista Business - Think of it as XP Pro, but Vista.

Windows Vista Business N - Think of it as XP Pro, but Vista, but Euro.

Windows Vista Enterprise - Business version of Vista with numerous enterprise features, like Virtual PC, volume encryption, etc.

Windows Vista Ultimate - Love that name. This one does all of the above (and more); what else do you need to know? It's ultimate Windows..

And then, across the square, I saw it: the world's largest Windows error message - on a two-story high e-billboard (I guess everything really is bigger in New York). It was the only billboard in the entire square with absolutely no movement - since the PC running it had obviously frozen."

A clearer view of the message for you error-message geeks:

hah..very funny.........wonder why microsft products got many flaws in
them..

p/s: does vista perform better than xp with same hardwares?..

ya...windows vista is getting better n better now...

I hope VISTA won't come out so fast cos when it does...it will be equipped with directx 10 which means that those games that follows will be directx 10 and it will means i have to buy a new graphic card.
