  1. Comment - Vista Customer Preview Program Begins

    Alphas are not done. Betas are supposed to be almost done except for a small list of known bugs, and is out for end users to identify less obvious bugs. Vista does not fit ANY commonly used definition of beta. It has myriad bugs that it's impossible to imagine Micrsoft didn't know about. The current "beta 2" of Vista fits commonly accepted definition of a late Alpha - "Shows functionality but may have serious flaws".

    Windows Vista is more like an Alpha. It has bugs that its impossible to conceptualize Microsoft not knowing about. So it's not just their wanting your help in finding bugs.

    And speaking of Microsoft and how bad they are, what about 20 million folks 6 year old systems that are now being abandoned, with no more patches for Win98b or WinME, even though they knew of vulnerabilities in April.

    I struggled to find a mirror to down load Windows Vista (Microsoft's site wasn't and on June 9 still isn'taccepting connections), and 3 hours later at 306KB/s over ATT dsl from the download here, I had a DVD image of Vista beta 2. Worthless piece of SH*T.
    It never presented me the option to add a partition so I could dual boot with XP, but booted up as if it could dual boot, which it couldn't. Then it told me it boots up too slow cause it doesn't like its' Windows supplied Driver for my NVidia video card. It definitely shuts down way too slowly. It couldn't find any Drivers for a standard SoundBlaster Audigy card. Then it told me I had 3.25 Gig of Ram, when I have 4 Gig of Ram.
    Luckily I had GHOSTed my XP before starting, so I restored it, undoing the Vista damage.
    I haven't seen anything so poorly done since the OS2 2.0 Install.
    I had less grief the first time I ever installed a Linux distribution.
