Look out for network card problems on the new Vista…Any of you having this issue ?? See the thread on this forum.

With the incremental release you guys put up there I just installed it. My PCI ethernet card which worked fine before is mucking up. I have to uninstall the device and have Vista redetect it before I can connect to the web. This happens on every restart. I get it working, when I shut down and restart I have to go through the whole process again. It worked with previous builds and it works flawlessly with Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 and XP. I don’t know if it’s a driver issue or what. Anyway it’s a 3Com Fast Ethernet Controller. Yes I am a connect member this is not Pirateware.

As if they did not know, any delay in the Vista release is going to cost Microsoft big sums of money. Just wondering why they are so late in this game…

Company CFO Chris Liddell says a slip in Vista’s release to Q2 2007 would cost the company hundreds of millions, but it’s unclear whether the estimated loss includes some of the planned sales and marketing money–estimated at $900 million total for fiscal 2007.

Found a ton of Windows Vista Build 5472 Screenshots over here. Go have a look

Microsoft today released another interim build of its oft-delayed Windows Vista operating system. The latest build offers a host of improvements over the previous 5456 build including improved NVIDIA driver performance in Windows Media Center. According to Bink.nu, there will also be improvements made to the performance of this build compared to earlier builds of Vista. “Vista in its beta form is pretty taxing on the system. It’s slow and a little non-responsive. That piece of software is now about nine weeks old and that may not sound like a lot but at this stage, that’s an old version in software terms. You’ll see a huge difference [in performance],” said Microsoft corporate VP of Windows client marketing Mike Sievert.
