Me I am HAPPY!!!!
Well this isnt my first time with a beta version of a new piece of software, however I found the installation very time consuming. I was really suprised as to how long it actually took, from start to finish. Below is my system configuration:
Toshiba Qosmio
Centrino 2.0 GHZ
1GB Ram
2 60GB Hard Drives
Nvidia Gforce 6600go 128 MB Ram (Not Shared)
Basically its a Media Center Edition PC.
I have not installed anything at all except the OS. The OS takes a really long time to install, and once installed takes a really long time to load. Is this normal for a Beta version In the past I have not expirenced this with beta versions. Also as I know there are a huge amount of changes to this OS, there are WAY too many confusing questions the Software asks, that I think in the longrun will totally confuse the ordinary person. for example when you want to change the display settings, not only do you go to a different area but after you get there you are asked if you want to permit or deny. (Now I am sure in future releases this will go away because files and programs wont be unknown publisher), but if it doesnt go away this could mean a lot of added time spend navigating the computer and using it as it should be. The average person will be completely turned off and will go back to XP. This is just my opinion as I am going through this new version. As for problems, there were none to speak of so far. I was able to install it perfectally (Minus the Long time). I odnt have all the drivers for it, but I expected that issue.
So everyone please read this post and post your opinions right away regarding these things I thought might be good to know.
Thank you
James
