Another Windows Vista RTM Experience
Well, this morning I have reinstalled my machine with Windows Vista RTM that came from MSDN (massively believed to be the most stable version). Primary reason because Dondy told me that there would be a Windows logo during boot, but actually it never came into production.
And another actually, the differences are only on the installation (this version is installable from Windows, while the previous is not).
After using the unofficial RTM for several days, here's some other experiences:
- Sound driver problem is still there, but can be localized to WMP-only. Other application seldom caused the sound to stop. That means, I can ditch that WinAmp solution... :D (it's a pity when display drivers are able to recover themselves from crashes but the audio drivers are not)
- WMP 11 Library addition is messed up. I can't add any of my audio files to the library (maybe because mostly are pirated copies). Workaround is to play/manually add every single track you want in the library.
- Windows Vista complains about compatibility issues with Visual Studio 2005 RTM and SQL Server 2005 RTM/SP1. Hopefully not long after Nov 30 launch, Microsoft will rush VS 2005 SP1 (currently CTP) and SQL Server 2005 SP2 (currently no news, yet).
I haven't got time to try other things like Expression Suite, DirectX games, and Java applications. They should be working smoothly, though. Buzz on the net is still quite.
