| | 5384 (beta 2) first impressions Test machine is home-built. MSI KT6-Delta motherboard, 1GB (2x512) PC2700 SDRAM, MSI GeForce FX 5200 video card with 128MB RAM. Primary disk has one 1GB primary partition (boot) and four 30GB logical partitions. XP installed on 1st logical partition (D , Vista on 2nd one(E .Beta 2 installs much faster than 5308 (under one hour instead of over 2 hours). It finds the SATA disk without any problem, but I don't know if it's native or it got the driver from XP when I started the install. The numlock state is sticky under the login screen, which is a good thing for someone using the French keyboard (which I do). I hope this remains the case by the time RTM rolls out. Explorer no longer uses up 100% CPU and is now reasonably responsive. However, the standard menus have disappeared and I can find no way to invoke them. The Windows sidebar no longer has auto-hide ablility, and this is a bad thing if you don't have a 20" or bigger hi-res monitor. Especially as the "gadgets" don't get transparent when the cursor leaves the sidebar. Networking works a lot better. The MCE component detected the multimedia server on my Sony VAIO without any problem (in fact, it surprised me <g>). I can use Remote Desktop from the VAIO (under XP), which wasn't possible with 5308. Glass doesn't operate with RD; with a 100Mbps LAN connection, it should be possible to activate it. More later on. -- Pierre Szwarc Paris, France PGP key ID 0x75B5779B ------------------------------------------------ Multitasking: Reading in the bathroom ! ------------------------------------------------ |

| | Re: 5384 (beta 2) first impressions In Vista Build 5308, it kind of does have an hide feature but not auto hide from what I see. When the side bar is open and you right click on a empty space on it it will give you a menu. One of the choices that you can select is Hide Sidebar. Granted, to have it show again, you will have to either double click on the icon in the tray that looks like a white life saver's candy or right click on it and choose Show Sidebar. -- Jason Windows Vista, Build 5308 "Andre Da Costa [Extended64]" <andred25@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:e2NMaYDgGHA.5104@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I don't remember the Sidebar ever having Auto hide capabilities. > -- > Andre > Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com > Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre > http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta > "Pierre Szwarc" <pierre_szwarc@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:e%23HhqPDgGHA.452@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Test machine is home-built.
