Hi guys,

I have finally successfully installed Windows Vista:cool:
I have installed it as a Dual Boot with Windows XP SP 2,as i have seen people mentioning in earlier posts i didnt experience any boot.ini corruption while configuring it as a dual config.

My System Configuration is:cool:

Pentium IV 3.2 Ghz
1 GB DDR RAM
320 GB Seagate HDD
XFX 6200 nVIDIA Graphics Card
Sony DVD Writer

The software which are properly supported in this build as of now

1.VLC Media Player 0.8.4a
2.Mozilla Firefox 1.5.04
3.Office 2007 Beta 2

THE Working of vista being full or trial or even the working of aero does not depend on weather the vista has been bought from a torrent or microsoft site !!
if u activate windows vista with a genuine key (which is freely distributed my microsoft)...it will be a full version and there will be no 14 days limitation !!

also if u have a good gfx card with dx 9.0c comapatiability and pixel shader 2.0 u r vista aero feature will work..regardless its from torrent or MS Site....

no one can help u get RC 1.. cauz its released only MS connect ..and not to general public...so u will have to wait ..till its released in CPP(customer preview programe ) for public !!

My desktop with onboard 6100 got user experience rating of 3.0. Is this 3 out of 5?
