What betas do you recommend?
Hello once again. Now that I finally have FTP access, it's time to test some betas!
If you would do me a favor, and help me out here. Tell me which builds you recommend from:
Memphis
NT 5
Seven
Millennium
Cairo
Longhorn (of course)
and Whistler!
Help is greatly appreciated!

Re: What betas do you recommend?
I would say NT 5 due to your favourite OS being NT 4.0, just so you can see how your favourite OS evolved into something else.
Re: What betas do you recommend?
Longhorn - 4074
Whistler - 2296
Whistler - 2296

Re: What betas do you recommend?
Another idea: you could use Windows Vista build 5112.

Longhorn:5048,3718,4074; 7:6801,6956;Whistler:2257;2296;2428; Memphis: 1400;1500;1532.

Re: What betas do you recommend?
Well, if you are going to try Longhorn first try the 4074 build, later you can try these builds: 4039/4033 (4039 if you want Aero, but is unstable) 3718, 4093 (Just to see how much Longhorn was broken before the development reset) and 5048

I do NOT recommend 4093 at all. Sometimes it installs in 12 hours!
And I forgot this... for NT 5, you can try 1691, I have written a guide for it.

Go and download the whole thing and keep playing from now to months later. Trust me, you'll never get bored.

Re: What betas do you recommend?
I appreciate all the suggestions I'm getting. What every person new to betas (probably) already noticed, is that not everything works in them, i.e. Whistler 2296, the cursor doesn't move.
Re: What betas do you recommend?
That's a problem on your side though. A lot of people installed 2296 and the cursor moved for them.computebrute wrote:Whistler 2296, the cursor doesn't move.

Re: What betas do you recommend?
Hmm. For Whistler, I would personally suggest looking at the earliest builds, namely 2250. Longhorn's got a long and interesting development, so I'd suggest going through the BA wiki and deciding for yourself. 4074 is the obvious answer, but you might find the earlier builds to be a bit more interesting.computebrute wrote:Hello once again.

Re: What betas do you recommend?
Maybe Windows 7 Build 7100, Windows 8 Build 8250 CP, Windows 8.1 Build 9431, or Windows 8.1 6.3.9600.16610, but you don't want them.
Okay, then Windows Longhorn 5112 looks nice.

Re: What betas do you recommend?
I'm not sure if my input means anything, but my favorite builds of Windows "Longhorn" are 4051.idx02.031001-1340, 4074.idx02.040425-1535, and 4093.main.040819-1215. The reason I am fond of 4051 and 4074 is because they were released during PDC 2003 and WinHEC 2004, respectively. Although it differs from the final operating system in many ways, 4093 has always reminded me of Windows Vista.computebrute wrote:Hello once again.

I've not bothered with Memphis or the rest as I never really had a reason to do so.

Re: What betas do you recommend?
I'd recommend:
Windows Whistler Build 2419. (It's the last build of Whistler with the watercolor theme and has a lot of XP features. And as far as I've seen, pretty stable compared to other builds I've tried before.) I've actually installed this on real hardware and it works pretty well.
Windows Longhorn Build 4074. (You'd have to apply a lot of tweaks and stuff to make explorer more stable and you'd need to manually enable Aero.)
Windows Whistler Build 2419. (It's the last build of Whistler with the watercolor theme and has a lot of XP features. And as far as I've seen, pretty stable compared to other builds I've tried before.) I've actually installed this on real hardware and it works pretty well.

Re: What betas do you recommend?
I do not recommend 4074, it's slow and very unstable, 5048 is much better.
