... to testers.

Can I upgrade build 5600 to this?

thanks -  530k a sec - so far so good

Already burning the DVD but unfortunately will have to wait until tomorrow to install.

Looks like the servers in Europe are currently giving the highest bandwidth (at least for me).  ~860KB/sec.  Tried Asia first and was only getting about 220KB.  I'm sure that the US servers are getting slammed, so I usually don't even bother with them.

I'm DL'ing from Texas, BTW.

im afraid to cancel it to check... last time i hit "wake up" button on new keyboard by accident and it shutdown!  went from 500k to 60k or something when i resumed.


ps - another friday - another relase - thanks in advance ms (again)

fridays are good days to release new versions = weekend to load

..download done.   goes to burn ISO ... remembers cant burn anything in vista ... DOH!

...i was going to load this - but no burner in vista.

before i hunt down a temp burner - is there any reason to load this over rc1? ( short of alot of work)

- does it in fact upgrade rc1 (dream on)
- did ms write shader 2 drivers for nvidea (all) and ati catalyist (all) ?
- is open gl fixed in above drivers?
- is home networking - //laptop/administrator fixed? instead of (proper) //laptop  (no network for laptop - even when it worked)
- wireless - does it remember now?
- is the burner issue itself (virtual drive space) fixed?

?

thanks keeron - but "command line tools" scared me away!

*my knowledge of DOS:

md
cd..
fdisk
dir
dir /w
format c: /q  (is that the quick version?  s?  ..err thats system..?
smartdrv

Yeah, same here. Unless this can upgrade the RC1 build, I'm not gonna bother.

This build can upgrade RC1.

The bad point is a lot of ISO mounting software refuses to work, Daemon Tools, VCdControlTool, Magic ISO etc.

Apparently 'FantomDVD-Beta' works though (never heard of it before or tried it yet).

Doesn't anybody actually read the announcements newsgroup? It clearly states that you can upgrade from RC1 to this build.

Anyway I installed it clean (always do, I loathe upgrades). Installed Audigy2 drivers, speedfan, WinRar, Office 2007 B2TR, Visual Studio 2005, my own Find As You Type add-on, it all seems to work.

The file/folder icons inside WinRAR are no longer messed up, and the messages you get during the performance check phase of setup are different, but aside from that I haven't seen any major changes. For most of the actual bugs I want to see if they've fixed them I need my other system which I won't be able to do until monday.
