No confirmed timelines as of now, but I wouldn't expect it until Feb 2006 at the earliest.mlakrid said:Any time lines before they go open Beta? or IF they will?
I'm guessing it's because the Omegas are non-LDDM drivers. You can still trick the system and turn it on by adding a DWORD value called "UseMachineCheck" (set the value to 0) to the following reg key:apu95 said:I managed to install the drivers, finally
Only problem is that now my Aero Glass is broken !!
Before I installed the Omegas, I had the windows looking like the screens you were showing Net, with the semi transparent glossy-ish look. Now it looks like this:
Same thing happened when I attempted to install the normal Vista Beta drivers by ATI. I'm gonna keep digging at this, lots of feedback for MS to work on

Beta 1 was already released way back in July.napalmnthemorning said:Will the public release be beta 1 or beta 2.
kcnychief said:Yeah, Beta 1 was in July, which I was lucky atm to grab b/c I had a MSDNN, which has since expired
Community Technology Previews (CTP's) are normally to a limited audience. Beta's are usually somewhat more public, although that isn't always the case.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DWM
Restart the User Experience Session Management Service after you add it.
Yeah, that happens on my machine as well. That's because the UseMachineCheck hack has not been fully tested and is not actually supposed to be used. It won't work once Vista goes RTM. The only "proper" way to enable Glass is to have a DX9-capable GPU with LDDM drivers installed.apu95 said:Awesome, it works
I think the Omega drivers broke something though, because when I click on the volume icon to check the individual volume settings for each program, instead of showing the volume bars, it shows everything black instead. Not sure why it may have happened though, but no biggie .
I'm on the official technical beta program, which is how I get access to the monthly CTPs.GEN3RIC said:I want this build. You have to have an MSDN subscription for it? Or have you guys been getting it from P2P networks? That must be illegal......?

So, what was he doing on campus? Recording the various sounds we'll all hear in Windows Vista.
This is a different kind of Channel 9 video. We needed to be quiet during the recording session so you can just follow along. It's a little audio preview of what Windows Vista will sound like.
