OM7,
that release is for the Beta. I don't think that the official one will be out until mid year! The article hinted that it may be released sooner if the Beta doesn't give any problems.

Everyone here knows I hate Vista, so my opinion doesn't count! LOL!! I think Vista is "Bloatware Supreme"! So does most of the world, which is why there's a Windows 7 at all! Anything that makes me have to buy double the memory just to run decently fast, isn't worth it to me!
ZD-Net thinks it's better!

"See ya Vista, Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya"
I agree 100%! That would be a terrible feeling of "Rejection"! That's what Micro$oft gets for trying to cram another Bloatware OS down our throats! Window 7 is reported to be much faster than Vista too and doesn't require as much memory to run well! As Sam said, "Good god, the people really have spoken"! Yes they have and we, the end users have won! ROFLMSOAO!!
Happy New Year,

--Windows 7 Beta Leaks Early
Paul Thurrott, @windowsitpro.com
A pre-release version of Windows 7--build 7000, which is widely expected
to be released soon by Microsoft as the Windows 7 Beta--leaked online
late last week. The software giant has officially provided this build
only to its closest partners, but the company is expected to deliver the
Windows 7 Beta to technical beta testers in the days ahead and then to
the public by mid-January.
I've been using the Windows 7 Beta build since last week and have
written a lengthy review and provided over 50 screenshots of this
eagerly awaited release on the SuperSite for Windows (links below). But
in keeping with Microsoft's new design mantra, little has changed in the
product since Microsoft announced most of Windows 7's features back in
October. The company previously stated that the Windows 7 Beta would be
"feature complete."
In use, the Windows 7 Beta is very similar to Windows Vista but offers
better performance, enhanced functionality, and a pared-down, simpler
UI. Microsoft has paid particular attention to the Windows UI in this
release, and appears to have tweaked virtually every aspect of the
interface. Compatibility with existing hardware and software is
excellent, as is performance. Stability is mostly excellent, too, though
individual applications--notably Word 2007--freeze up in the Windows 7
Beta far more often than is the case with Vista.
Following the public release of the Windows 7 Beta, Microsoft is
expected to ship a single release candidate (RC) of the system and then
deliver the final version of the product. Based on the quality of the
Beta, my expectation is that Microsoft will finalize Windows 7 in April
2009 and deliver the OS to customers by June 2009 at the latest.

I was just about to post that about the Windows 7 beta! I'll try it out soon and let you guys know how it went. Build 6801 was quite amazing to use on an old computer and I did use it as the Primary OS on my old computer(which gets heavy use daily by my parents) and there weren't any complaints. No optimizing, just a bunch of average people using the OS and they liked it much better than XP.

That may well be, but the 32bit version Blows! I personally have never not had problems with it and I convert a lot of "Vista Only" machines to XP-Pro because most people don't like Vista because it's slow and crashes a lot. It's the main reason for XP-Pro's continued existence, and the upcoming Windows 7! It doesn't help when companies like HP/Compaq and eMachines sell Vista machines with only 256MB of slow memory in them either!

ddp,
I run XP-Pro SP3 in my old Dell C610 1.4GHz 512MB P3 laptop and it's faster than any Vista laptop I've come across. Vista is a hurry up and wait thing on most laptops I've seen, and a good many desktops as well. Most of the time you are waiting while that little circle thing is spinning madly away!
Vista Certification is another issue as well. 2 1/2 hours to install a new hard drive because it won't authenticate is ridiculous as well. The fact that I have to phone and wait just to install something as simple as a hard drive, only to be chastised for not buying a "Vista Certified" component is also ridiculous, especially since it does work without problems after all of the BS! M$ has become a bunch of control Freaks!

Russ we know you hate Vista as well as M$ and ASUS but you at least have to give credit to those that have used Vista with success and know that they've used the proper amount of RAM. You can't blame M$(well you can...lol) for the companies that have used Vista w/o the proper amount of RAM... I installed Vista on a lappy for a friend with 1GB of RAM and it worked just fine. I used RI4M and some other progies and they worked like a champ. ;) The burns were very nice and the machine ripped as it should. It's the only install of Vista that I've really played with. ;) I liked the interface. :D I'm really excited to see how Windows7 works and feels. It really can't be any worse than Vista and from what I've read it does have it's pluses from Vista and XP. :D

Just my experience with it over the last year or more. People in general hate it! I never said I hate it, just that it blows! What I want to know is how you managed to get RI4M to work. Vista wouldn't even let me install Nero 7 at all (Software Compatibility issues and terminated the install). They weren't even nice enough to tell you before tying my Acer laptop up in knots when I installed 6. They did give a message about possible compatibility issues, but never mentioned a word about putting my Vista installation at risk!
BTW, How do you make Shrink work without Nero? I bought and paid for both 6 & 7, and I have no intention of feeding Vista's control freak attitude by buying a newer one. 6 crashed Vista Ultimate Edition to the tune of almost $40 for a recovery disk. It wouldn't even let me uninstall it! I think I have darn good reason to dislike it! Reason enough for enough people, that we will soon have Win 7! I'm looking forward to that! 32 bit Vista can't even match XP-Pro SP3 with 2GB of memory, with 4GB of memory in the Vista machine. Why anyone would want to double their ram to get less performance is beyond me.
BTW! All of my software works with XP! Even stuff that's over 10 years old! I've never had to call M$ to install components, and XP almost never crashes unless there's a problem with the computer. I can't say, that in my experience vista works as well! XP-Pro SP3 has earned my respect. So far Vista hasn't!

Thanks for the links. I didn't know that. I do find this comment very funny. "I have decided to post this guide here seeing how RipIt4Me will soon become obsolete and everyone will be looking for the new free way to back up their original DVD movies". The post was from April 12, 1907. I would like to know what he meant by soon! LOL!! Here we are, almost into 2009, and RI4M is still a viable program. I personally have only found 3 titles I was unable to rip with it. RI4M is probably the best program of it's kind, ever! Certainly the longest lived. It will remain my main ripper until it no longer works anymore.
Happy New Year,
Russ

I'm well aware of your experience with it.. ;) As far as RI4M working with it I don't know why it worked for me and not you?? I may have had a little different version than you had, you know w/o DRM or whatever loaded. I really am at a loss Russ. ;) I know that my friend installed some more RAM later and I don't think he had to call M$ to activate or whatever. Of course I haven't talked to him about it in a few months but he seemed happy enough with it... and nothing has happened AFAIK.

I have no idea how you would do that because DVD Decrypter and AnyDVD won't work together. It pops up a message that it's not compatible, at least with the two I have now. I have 6.4.9.1 and 6.4.9.2 and for TDK, only 6.4.9.1. worked, 6.4.9.2 wouldn't! It needed DVD Shrink to rip it, along with AnyDVD. Wouldn't rip it by itself and neither would Shrink.
I bought AnyDVD about 4 years ago, but never really used it so I never upgraded it. They refused to upgrade me because I had never upgraded, and apparently that made them suspicious of it being pirated, even though I could show the invoice for it. They all but accused me of pirating it! They said that "Invoices can be faked". I hung up on them! They are also going to a yearly fee Jan. 9. Since free upgrades have been denied to me, the hell with them!
I had put the tree away, but since I haven't seen you so,
Happy Holidays to You and Yours,
Russ

I have RI4M ver 1.7.1.0, DVD Decrypter ver 3.5.4.0 and DVD Shrink 3.2 Final. All are supposed to be the last versions available. ZoSoIV just mentioned using AnyDVD with RI4M. I've never been able to do that. Sophocles told me a long time ago that AnyDVD and DVD DEcrypter won't work together and the two latest versions I have will not work with RI4M. You get an Error Message as soon as RI4M is started and RI4M terminates! The wierd part is neither Shrink or AnyDVD would rip TDK, but together they did just fine, once I figured out that you needed to set it for a 9 disc to keep it from compressing. Then I used DVDRB/CCE on it.
I have no idea how M$ handles the activation process or what the criteria is, but I've had to call them twice now for new hard drives and once for a video card. There must be some sort of TellTale that kicks it out if it isn't on their Vista Certified list or something. Since I never plan to use Vista, I'm not going to worry about it.

It wouldn't even let me uninstall it! I think I have darn good reason to dislike it! Reason enough for enough people, that we will soon have Win 7! I'm looking forward to that! 32 bit Vista can't even match XP-Pro SP3 with 2GB of memory, with 4GB of memory in the Vista machine. Why anyone would want to double their ram to get less performance is beyond me.

For what it's worth I use Nero 7 all time with Vista 32-bit and haven't had a single problem yet. That's not saying I like it though, I've used both 32 and 64 bit versions and both are vastly inferior to XP pro SP3 imo.
^^-just in case the point hasn't been made enough yet ;)

Mine was Vista Ultimate Edition on a really nice Acer MultiMedia Laptop with an Intel C2D 1.73GHz and 2GB of memory and a CrystalBrite widescreen I sold to sytyguy. I got a message when I installed Nero 7 saying it was incompatible with my hardware and was terminating the install to prevent damage. Nero 6 installed with an error message that said that there may be a compatibility issue, Do I want to proceed. No threat of damage like 7 so I proceeded. When I went to run it for the first time, it locked up the computer and it wouldn't boot after that at all! I did manage to get it to boot up in safe mode, but it wouldn't let me uninstall Nero 6. I wound up buying a recovery disk which I restored the computer with and then sold it. Oh! It also didn't like Power DVD 7, 6 or 5! It now happily runs XP-Pro! Nicest laptop I ever owned in terms of quality and build. Slim but very rugged, and the display was magnificent.
