Re: Tried it....
Tried it as well. It doesn't seem complete because when your booting, there's no windows logo. Its just that animated bar. Maybe because its in VMWare? Yes the included key works for 30 days, and the cracks on the net do not work. It says 'key already in use' when trying to activate. Its pretty neat but already it shows that some of my apps are just not the same. I'll use this version and VMWare to monitor Vista until its ready for me. If I like it I'll buy it. |

| You are correct that it's an unfinished product to the point they were to lazy to even put the vista logo in the boot screen.
It has nothing to do with it being in vmware and has everything to do with them trying to rush the product to market. (after 5 years of developement, lol) |

| In development this is called, "Tighten up loose ends"
It goes hand in hand with a good product, especially one that is $400 for the 'best' version. Your argument is rediculous!
Part of the way you can tell a beta from a real product is the last bit of effort developers must make to really polish it up.
At the very least the "ULTIMATE" should at least have an ultimate startup screen.
DUH? |

So you're saying that what makes a product worth anything is a boot screen?
Who gives a damn? |

Vista? a working OS... I can't believe it. I bet anything that this pirated near RTM version will be used to test for new exploits by malicious hackers. On January 30th, Vista will ship and the web will already be full of exploits. Too funny.
Ok ok, maybe, just maybe Microsoft did their homework on security but let's face it, their track record and writing a new OS from scratch puts Micro$oft at a disadvantage. |
