I got my Vista beta 2 DVDs yesterday, Microsoft shipped them from their Singapore production center probably in Woodlands, or that’s where it originated from. The DVDs are pressed locally and each package contains 2 DVDs one for 32 bit processor and one for 64 bit processor install. Inside contains a leaflet that contains a key to register the product, good for up to 10 computers.
It takes about 45 minutes to setup the operating system, I’m using a Intel 2.8e with 1GB of ram. The inital impression after using it for a while was that the interface was really good and impressive, infact at some point I think it was as good as OSx. Things worked nicely and drivers can be retrieved form the Internet to be installed when Vista did not ship with the required drivers.
So far into the testing of the system it seems that there are a problem that I have encounted while using Vista, it seems that when you move multiple directories some of the directories do not seem to be transfered and moved instead a blank directory is placed in the destination drive and the files still remain in the source directory, also the OS seems to make very inaccurate estimates of the time required to transfer the files. I also noticed that the after the files and directories are moved from the source to destination the source does not free up the space and the space seems to go mysteriously missing from the harddisk.
The OS provides a very comfortable environment for consumers because of it’s nicely designed interface and effects, gives a soothing feel when operating in Vista, I personally like the minimize and maximize effects. The other thing that is noticable in Vista is the Windows Sidebar, similar to the Apple’s MacOSx dashboard, it shows little widgets that can be customised. You see a clock, RSS feed and CPU/MEM meter as the defaults.
One thing that kinna irritates power users would be that you are the administrator without the adminstrator access, when you want to carry out certain tasks, the system will pop up a 2nd window that requires you to enter yes so as to allow for administrator rights so as to change network settings, move certain files etc etc.
I guess Microsoft got the interface part correct now to see how stable their operating system is. So till the next alpha version I’ll just keep running the beta and check out what it’s capable of.
