To those who is using the retail version of Vista Home/Business/Ultimate, please tell us the 'build' version of your Vista. Wonder if it is the same build (6000) as the Vista RTM?
*
my "ahem" version is 6.0.6000 which i think is retail and is on "unlimited" trial rolleyes.gif

and i don't think it will delete anything without asking permission first. even renaming a file need permission. stupid UAC doh.gif

dual boot using vista and xp pro possible ?

i think most of us had been doing that when using vista since beta. don't take the risk using vista only on your pc. dual boot for recovery if something mess up (i meant vista tongue.gif )

Well, there is another DX9 version for XP for future game execution in XP.
*
when it's out, it will mark the doom for xp. that probably the last update of DX9 (DX9d blink.gif ??)

btw, to people who are anti-vista or just too stubborn, they will eventually get stuck with it just like previous version of windows. when XP out, most say it suck blablabla but now, most windows user using XP laugh.gif

read previous posts before posting laugh.gif

@dattebayo
on my pc, usually 3-5secs but if just finish fresh installation, need longer time, around 3mins for sorting up the settings and drivers.
if u didn't formatted the drive used for XP, vista automatically recognized it as dual boot system.

@kingvui78
try vista manager for tweaking. for maintainence, havent try tuneup07 on it though. forgot to try it tongue.gif

for graphic overclocking, forget bout it. new working method of driver prevent it. atitool, rivatuner, etc all doesn't work.

Waaa.....Why so expensive.....I thought the highest price would be RM 150

have u ever buy ori stuff? i highly doubt it cool.gif

rm150 for a OS? if USD150 then can still be acceptable laugh.gif

even ori games cost rm180-190

try retail version of Vista Ultimate. i guess it will wet your pant (it wet mine cry.gif ) rm1K+

is it posibble to changing the vista chinese version (chinese interface) to become english interface?
*
i doubt that. usually localized version sold much cheaper.

can try though. try go to control panel and change the language preference, just like in XP. restart after changing the setting, if available.

@RacingTech
probably driver issue. nvidia driver for vista still beta.

@Smackers
Data Execution Prevention,DEP can be turned off. control panel/system/advanced iff not mistaken. btw, better leave it on.

the vienna name will be changed, if not mistaken cuz the name has been taken by other product.

2009 is too near. maybe an update to Vista just like the crappy ME to win98? laugh.gif

why is window vista defragmenting so slow? i used xp last time, and i can defrag a drive of 80Gb in 1 min, now i defrag it in vista, 30 min already.

i also got 1 more problem here, i cant play .rmvb files anymore with real one player, apparently it doesnt support vista.
*
1min? lol i don't think it actually defrag your hdd or u defrag every 6 hours of pc usage.use Perfectdisk and see whether got different o not.

try use codec pack like K-Lite Mega codec pack. it's compatible with vista and not only play rmvb but almost all media file u can think of.

actually x360 games are developed with XNA, the same package use to develop new games on vista. some sort like unified code that can be used on both pc and x360. therefore basically x360 games playable on pc IF the games develop using XNA Studio.

btw, can download the software and develop your own game if u want to do so

My Vista after start up shows ram reading of 80%++. Is this normal? But after bout a minute it will go down to about 50%
*
i think it scan idle processes and threads and cache it to free up ram.

BTW, for antivirus, i use Smantec Antivirus. work since vista beta->rc->retail
it's not the same as norton antivirus though. the interface just plain ol win98 era cuz it's meant for corporate use. but at least it do its job properly laugh.gif

fast and simple question. does vista ultimate require diff hardware specs? i'm currently on *ahem* Home Premium and getting a score of 3.0. want to try *ahem* ultimate. so uhm, i think its possible but will it cause my rig to lag like ballz?
*
all vista basically same performance except home basic. difference is the extra tools or apps that came with it.
