*dx10 can`t emulate dx9 in 100%

VISTA doesn't "emulate" DX9, at all. It uses a parallel version of DX9, called DX9.L, which is (according to MS themselves) faster than the XP-version.

Ok, so it's legit, but what does it do? The NFO explains nothing. There isn't any MSDN key supplied, and even if it was, it would be a manner of minutes until MS disables it.

Those who want to play their videos within Windows Vista x64 Ultimate's Media Center may found this ffdshow build for 64-bit useful:

Gothic 3 is not the best game to test it on. It was buggy as hell to begin with so i can't imagine what it would do on vista  |
On my side i have tested, on the Ultimate x64 version, 'Anno 1701', works fine except for a graphical glitch with the water when all options are maxed up, and 'Medieval 2 : total war' which runs better for me than under XP MCE 2005.

Otherwise, users would get a 10 and think "why should I upgrade, I have the best PC". |
microsoft as quoted earlier:
"A computer with a base score of 4 or 5 is able to run all new features of Windows Vista with full functionality, (...) Computers with a base score of 5 were the highest performing computers available when Windows Vista was released."

Splinter Cell Double Agent doesn´t seem to be working in Vista, thats too bad. Hopefully the start releasing gamepatches for vista soon so we can play our games. Good drivers are starting to come in now too.

For those having the desktop tag "evaluation copy" after applying the crack - there is a fix:
windows vista desktop tag removal
From nfo:
Installation:
1. Taking and giving ownership of the file"user32.dll.mui"
using the File Properies->Security tab, and giving your
user account/group full privileges (that is, permissions).
2. Rename the file:
x:\Windows\System32\en-US\user32.dll.mui to "user32.dll.bak"
3. Copy the file user32.dll.mui to
x:\Windows\System32\en-US\
4. Reboot/Log Off and enjoy your clear desktop.

Tested and works perfectly.

I was wondering if there is a trick that you can use to install this on a german RC2 as update? Can you update an english RC2 correctly?
For me it complains that the language doesn't match and refuses to do an upgrade. Maybe I need to convert my current RC2 installation to english first, but I don't know where to find the language files?
Is there any other solution besides waiting for the german ISO?

run "control userpasswords2" from the run command, uncheck "users must enter a password...", then enter your password and its done.

What do you guys recommend ?
Right now i'm getting Microsoft.Windows.Vista.RTM.32Bit.and.64Bit.AIO.DVD released the 11th, is it the best one out there? Orr should I get the Bill Gates rls ?
Thanks for the heads up.

WinBeta is sourced from MSDN x86/x64 RTM ISO's, but is a customised DVD image.
The "best" out there are the original, unmodified MSDN ISO's:
x64 = en_windows_vista_x64_dvd_X12-40712.iso
x86 = en_windows_vista_x86_dvd_X12-34293.iso
