Link21 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have heard that Vista is behind schedule and still very early in the beta stage. Yet, everyone is talking about it being released by the Fall of 2006. If it is really early in the beta stage, do you really think it will make it out to final release in a year or less from now?Or do you think sometime in 2007 will be a more realistic estimated time when it is released? Is there any scheduled date yet on the release of Vista? Or is it all just speculation and hype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsden Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 It will be code complete by the end of Feb. 2006, from then on it's bugs, fit and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 In February? Wow that does not give them much time to finish it off. I wonder if any of the beta testers can comment on the new features that have been put into Vista. So far it seems to me that Vista is not really that huge of an upgrade as was expected. And I think there is no way MS will make it by end of 2k6. If they do it will be halfassed and it will need a massive SP to get it working finally.

phatcat42141 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 All I have seen in the Vista so far is the ease of installation and the graphics. It is a bit of a memory hog (gotta shut down a lot of services that don't need to be running). I like Vista so far and am eagerly awaiting the next Beta 2 to be sent to me.

alsiladka Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 surely it shall be released in 2006. decembers ctp build got pretty stable reviews and they are nearing the completion of the coding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 So no beta testers are able to tell us non beta testers why it would be a good idea for Win XP Users to upgrade to Vista? I dont care about the gui. Right now it is in beta so I am sure that it will be hard on the memory and so on anda fat load of services running. But other than that things are probably not that noticeable eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've heard it's going to be shipped to OEMs around summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 That is what I heard as well and lets hope MS is able to meet that deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'm wondering what the final specifics for Windows Vista is. Apparently I've heard that you need at least 2 GIG of RAM just to run it. I mean come on, that is way too demanding, even for an operating system. What is Microsoft thinking anyway?

MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I have not read the entire Vista threads but a few thoughts below.I believe Vista will be easier to install from what Ive read so far. Does anyone know how this affects an unattended installation? Is it very different to XP?They will be using a new file system, will it be backward compatible to NTFS?CheersMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista will be easier for install than any M$ OS before, probably unattended installation will be a piece of cake too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be released at the same time as Longhorn Server.As far as installation goes, it is image based, so it will be super-quick to install and very easy to do an unattended. Microsoft have really geared the installation toward system administrators.
