1! Because my video card (on a laptop ) has... get this... 32 megabytes of ram!!! Maybe in coming years, I'll build myself a new PC with one of those new nVidia 7800 GT cards with 512mb of ram Here's a screenshot of my dismal performance: But actually, believe it or not, MY benchmarks say it runs Vista Ultimate just as fast as it did XP. Maybe it's because I have a higher-end processor: a Pentium 4 at 3 gigahertz. The clockspeed is fast enough to break through that 'clockspeed = faster performance' myth.

I thought of that too, or maybe it means 'activations' in the sense of each activation being one computer, and each subsequent activation for that computer being not counted.

I personally liked 5536 a lot, and now I'm running RC1 as of just yesterday and it is even better Give it a shot, IMO

Are you planning on Linux (php, mysql, apache or lighttpd, etc.) or Windows (IIS, asp, .net, access or mssql, etc.) servers, or some of both?

I've used three so it should work

Honestly, I haven't had the time nor the energy to maintain it lately; I have other projects that I've been working on lately that have taken priority. So, while I kept the database and files in tact, TTT is closed for now.

Can you use your Beta 2/5536 key?

Doesn't load CSS stylesheets, though

I love Millionaire! (Although I agree that the Millionaire people created a super-secret technology that reads peoples minds and make 50/50 NOT random ) Too bad they got rid of the Millionaire show at Disney World.

I remember when Blackomb was in serious discussion... around the early Longhorn alphas. Now it is Vienna. Now think about this. The original, circa-2001 release schedule was this: Windows Longhorn: 2003 Windows Blackomb: 2005 2003 and 2005! Hahaha!

A few months after XP came out I upgraded an old crica-1999 Dell Celeron (~300mhz, I think) with 64 megs of ram. XP itself worked just fine.

Do try it; it is a very nice product and is free. Works like a charm with Vista, too. Although it is lacking in features compared to VMWare Workstation; I might treat myself to a copy of it eventually

I have been thinking about the pricing of Vista lately. Granted, only one computer will use the Ultimate edition's features (mine), and the rest probably Home Premium. It would be expensive to upgrade one comp. to Ultimate and three others to Home Premium. I've been thinking: don't TechNet subscribers get like ten licenses to Vista, Office, and the betas? If so are there any licensing restrictions? Would it possibly be an option to buy a TechNet Plus subscription and supply Vista and Office to the whole family using it?

Okay thanks Wish I had a TechNet subscription

I'm a bit confused. RC1 is expected to enter CPP testing next week, right?

I just installed 5536; it is quite stable (tons more than beta 2!). I hope they let you upgrade from here to 5600.

Beta 2 worked quite well on my hardware - it was slow, but in terms of drivers, more installed by default with Vista than XP. I was quite happily suprised. Also I will be dual-booting it with Ubuntu Linux. It's been my primary OS lately and I do anything critical (eg related to school) on it. I think I'm gonna give it a shot for a while

I have Vista 5536 installed on VirtualPC, but I can't really find time to test it! Do you think it would be smart at all to replace XP with 5536, and then upgrade to RC1 next week? I know I'm probable insane, just thought I'd ask B)

I use it for anything I need to use it for

I didn't know it would run Vista! Thanks a mil! EDIT: Yep, seems to be working on Microsoft VPC.

Where from??? Microsoft's website. and Thanks, I'll look into it. EDIT: Darn, it doesn't work on VMWare Player. I'll try Server later today.

MySQL can easily go on the same server, and personally I prefer it to. On email: Most mainstream hosts use not exchange but a normal pop/smtp server, but I don't know about this. You need to look into cPanel. It automates nearly everything and will make your life much easier. Despite the high price tag.

I'm going to have to recommend Ubuntu for your scenario... here is how you install apache: sudo apt-get install apache2 PHP: sudo apt-get install php4 sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart MySQL is a tiny bit harder, but it just involved a few more commands and an editing of one config file.

Good point. One I have recently taken a liking to is Simple Machines Forum(SMF). It has nearly all the features of IPB and vBulletin, and I absolutly love the automatic mod-installer.

5384 was the CPP'd Beta 2, right? Because of my problems with VMWare, I am thinking of installing 5384 or XP first on VMWare and upgrading. Bad idea, though, probably.
