These are all of the programs I've tested so far with this build of Windows Vista; and they work 100%.
Windows Vista Beta 2 (5384) Activation Trick: There is a neat little trick for the TimeBomB in Windows Vista Beta 2, this will reset your activation counter from whatever day back to 14 days. I am not sure if i can post this, it is not a crack, but a command you enter at command prompt. I will post this only if someone or the admin on this site allows me to Edit:Thanks for your consideration. I think it`d be better if you didn`t post the details.
Software: Ccleaner (newest), WinAso 2.6, jv16 PowerTools 2006, Virtual Clone Drive, Trend Micro Pc-cillin 14.55 (Beta), Mozilla Firefox (1.5.0.4), FRAPS, CureROM, Azureus (works perfectly but Windows will change your Glass interface and the back when you quit the program), Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4, Driver Cleaner 3, Driver Cleaner (the driver cleaners might not clean the drivers 100%, maybe 90%), Stratup Run, Winrar 3.50 Final, Everest Ultimate Edition 2006, Microsoft Office 2007 Plus Beta 2
Things I will try: Oblivion, much more games, and lots of other software, Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3
Games: Need for Speed Most Wanted (does not work as great as on Win XP, this is with an 7800 GS and NVIDIA Beta Drivers (for VISTA BETA 2). WinXP: 30-40fps or more, Win Vista: 20-35 fps or more.:dead:
Drivers: This is currently tested on my computer so...
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS (works 5.1)
I got it working in 5.1 by: Installing the Vista Beta 2 drivers off Creative, then downloaded and installed the WinXP (newest drivers) from creative. NOTE: Do not uninstall the Vista drivers manually but just run the WINXP driver and it will do it for you. NOTE: The Creative Audio Console installed by the WINXP driver features EAX, do not enable this option, because it will crash your system(BSOD), it will dump your memory.
XFX GeForce 7800 GS(G71)
Installed Vista Beta driver, new control panel has a lot of missing features compared to the windows xp one (I am referring to the NVIDIA control panel!!) Also I noticed the 3D Setting are very limited, Ansiotropic Filtering only 2X!!!
Linksys LNE100TX(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter
I downloaded the WINXP drivers from Linksys the (v5) drivers those are the only ones that I tried.
HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYONE OUT THERE!!! MORE WILL COME
