i too didnt know where to post this... but i have been googling the past few nights about Vista and XP. when i first installed Vista, i loved it... knowing its a beta, there were a lot of things that didnt work as planned. then i built a new smoking machine to see Aero [because i HAD to see it for myself] and loved Aero transparency... the awe.

BUT, i loaded in my design applications and all is good, office... good. but then i go to install my audio applications that work in XP and i get DENIED. my soundacard [NOT a soundblaster] DENIED... more and more stuff i load denied working properly, or at all.

what sucks is i build high end audio workstations and am starting to test all the companies on Vista cause well, i took the bait and hate CP now... its depressing ;) but nothing seems to work for the machines i build. im still running the 32bit Vista because the XP64pro i installed didnt work with the applications either, plus i dont have the 64bit Vista

what im wondering is; are all these apps going to have to be rewritten for Vista? what exactly IS the difference of applications runnign in Vista vs XP? and why do NONE of the window options like send to mail recepient or burn CD work for me? i cant even get Nero to burn an ISO.

im just coming on a lot of roadblocks into actually eating the dogfood you are serving. im not trying to bash you... im just wanting to use Vista because i sure dont want to use XP [which i use in classic mode because XP looks like a tinkertoy GUI].

The PowerTogether website is a legitimate Microsoft website. Nick commented on another post about it:

"That site is indeed legit; it's an offer put together by our US subsidiary, and so only US residents are eligible.

If you have questions on how the program runs, you'll want to use the Contact Us link in the page footer to submit questions or feedback.

FYI, their servers are overloaded right now, so if you have trouble accessing the site, keep trying. I know that the team behind this is expanding their server capacity at the moment and so the experience should improve shortly."

Good Morning

My name is Larry, and I wonder what is happening with Vista RC1? I tried it as part of the “customer preview program”. And as of November 10th media programs are expiring, i.e.: Windows Movie Maker, Windows DVD Maker, Windows Media Center, and Windows media Player are giving errors that basically indicate your system is running out of resources. Windows DVD Maker was the first indicator, as I tried to make a DVD, it gave the error: “Not enough storage available to complete this task”, although I had 17 gig available. Has Microsoft just abandoned those who participated in the “customer preview program” or do they have a plan to reward those who have tested their product to this point and now have messed up operating systems? Thanks in advance for your response.

Larry Todd

Another comment re: "powertogether" website, if Microsoft wanted to do this the could charge up to $100 and still get more subscribers then they could handle.

It sounds to good to be true. Remember they will have your credit card number to pay taxes. The graphics look lifted, not quite as polished as MS.

Hey can I ask a quick question:

Is this a legit Microsoft website

http://www.powertogether.com/

It says you can watch videos to get a free copy of Office 2007 (you just pay taxes)? I just want to know if its not a phishing site?

Thanks

Hi there...I have a quick question. Now that we have the Vista Enterprise version how can we get the WIN 2K3 admin tools to work on vista (without registering all the dlls associated to the consoles) are you guys planning a release update for the admin tools? I hate to rdp into my servers unless I have to. What about the exchange ('03), SQl 2005 and SMS '03 as you can see we are a fully MS shop =) and have tons of software to test before deployment?

Archillies:

The customer preview program is closed. It's my understanding that you can't download windows vista any more.

I beta tested Office 2007, but have not received my free copy of Vista yet. Can someone please let me know how I can get a hold of it. Thanks.

Dear Microsoft,

I'm not sure where to put this bug but I''m putting here hoping it's the right place. Please reply to my email: is_206@hotmail.co.uk

I installed daemon tools and the computer starts restarting

i cant startup in safe mode either, every time it tries to install a driver for bios PnP extension it starts physical dump of memory

WHY?

Regards,

Ismail

Hi Vista Team,

Finally, I got the RTM Build 6000 installed. Thanks to provide the same for the Technet Plus subscribers online.

Now, back to question - How do I report a problem/bug?

I would like to inform you that the last line in your website [http://windowsvistablog.com/about.aspx] says to "Drop us an email", but I don't find any eMail Address.

Please provide me the right official Microsoft channel to report issues that I find with Build 6000.

Regards,

Kamlesh
