Vista Compleated

[hydride]

After more than five years of intensive effort—and more than a few setbacks—today Microsoft announced that Windows Vista is complete.

As Vista goes out to hundreds of millions of users over the next few years, we'll certainly see whether the new OS meets Microsoft's goals of being the most stable and secure operating system it's ever delivered.

Well, that's old news. What's new is that I already downloaded it and installed it.

It's beautiful of course, but not as fast as XP. However, it will have a feature called superfetch which will monitor what we do and tune up Vista after a week to suit the users' usage patterns. Say we use Windows Media Player 11 a lot. After the tune up, it will startup super fast because all the files that it needs will be automatically loaded into RAM even before we load it. People might think it will waste a lot of RAM by this method, but you will be amazed to see that even a PC that has 4GB RAM will not have a single MB of physical RAM left after few minutes. Vista will free up them when a new program needs it. It doesn't page them because there are not related to work that is done right now. It will simply flush those data and make room for new ones. But for best experience, 2GB is highly recommended.

However, gaming performance sucks. I'm hope it's a problem with ATI and nVIDIA drivers which are still farther from being final ones. They had to rewrite the drivers from the scratch because Vista's way of treating video cards have changed from good old days. Vista is almost like a game now. It runs on DirectX. But it doesn't mean you need the fastest video card out there. If I recall correctly, you need a DirectX 9 supported graphics card get all the nice GUI effects in Vista. No need for DirectX 10 hardware. Not only gaming performance is not as good as XP, but sometimes Vista GUI becomes unresponsible while the operating system is still working. I hope this is also a driver issue.

Even in this final build, it takes a lot longer than XP to shutdown. I can shutdown XP and boot back into XP, while Vista is still shutting down.

Still there are incompatibilities. Maybe when Vista launches itself to the public, the software companies will have fully compatible software. This is the only reason I see why Microsoft is holding off the release to the public until January 30th.

yeah. its not released yet.but its will release very soon.

Microsoft Windows Vista RTM Build6000 Ultimate [released]
that have some prob.s.but that more beter than beta2

OK?

In the meantime, hardware and software vendors have some time to tune their products to improve compatibility, and system OEMs have the opportunity to finalize their deployment and support processes and begin stocking retail channels. For now, many OEMs have begun offering PCs that quality for Microsoft's Express Upgrade program, under which customers who buy a Windows Vista Capable or Windows Vista Premium Ready PC today can upgrade for a (typically nominal) fee set by the manufacturer.
Of course, we're working on a comprehensive review of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now. Today, we're posting a walkthrough of Vista build 6000.16385, which came from Microsoft's build lab in Redmond on October 31. It isn't quite the final version that was released to manufacturing today, but is extremely close. (Microsoft says there were some last-minute, behind-the-scenes bug fixes whose impact on the product are negligible, and that the build we tested is, to all visible extent, identical to the final code.) Interestingly, the build we tested includes a few visual tweaks since Release Candidate 2, like new icons for some applications.

First impressions? Certainly, Windows Vista is far from everything Microsoft promised—even many capabilities included in the series of alpha and beta releases that began at the PDC (Professional Developers' Conference) in 2003 are not present in the final product. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed by the absence of major features like WinFS (Windows Future Storage), especially since Microsoft has been trying unsuccessfully to deliver a next-generation filesystem for more than a decade now.

That said, there's a lot to like about Vista: improved security, the new Start menu and Windows Explorer, task-based activity centers, better bundled applications and utilities, tablet and Media Center enhancements, and more. Of course, many of these components—particularly applications like Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and Windows Media Player 11—are also available for free download on Windows XP, so you don't have to upgrade to Vista to take advantage of them. But Vista integrates them well, and in the past few weeks I've found the OS has reached a level of stability, performance, and reliability that have made it thoroughly usable on a daily basis, with the exception of a third-party application or two that isn't yet compatible.

I can't help shake the feeling, though, that Vista was rushed out the door. As you'll see in our walkthrough, I've encountered a number of bugs while I've been exercising the OS over the past few days. Some are outright errors—nothing catastrophic, despite the alarming language in one error dialog—and some are just interface oddities and nuisances that, while not disruptive, indicate to me a lack of fit and finish. I've also observed some other minor forms of misbehavior that I haven't included in this walkthrough because they're difficult to show visually.
Of course, all code has bugs, and when the bugs are relatively minor, they barely detract from the utility of the software.

Microsoft Windows Vista Final RTM 2.4 GB

BillGates Release | Ver.: 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205)

According to Microsoft, Windows Vista has hundreds of new features, the most significant of which include an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easier to share files, password settings, and digital media between computers and devices. For developers, Vista introduces version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with the traditional Windows API. The Windows Communication Foundation feature which supports web services is aimed at improving networking and application integration for business and corporate users.
