Whistler
This is a discussion about Whistler in the Windows Hardware category; Yo everyone, Just downloaded Whistler off the MDSN site (you must have an account) and all I can say is WOW! The install was a breeze, I was asked 2 questions and was given the option to change my network settings and that's it.
Yo everyone,
Just downloaded Whistler off the MDSN site (you must have an account) and all I can say is WOW!
The install was a breeze, I was asked 2 questions and was given the option to change my network settings and that's it. At this point I have confirmed that my Geforce 2 card works fine using the 6.31 W2K drivers.
Q3,HL,Star-Trek Elite Force and UT work just fine,(still have more games to test) The look and feel of the new OS is much different than W2K. The desktop can be a little annoying but you can revert back to classic settings if you wish. All my hardware except for my SB Live 5.1 card was installed and is working fine. I'm going to try and install the 5.1 drivers and see if I have sound. If all goes well and my current games and apps will run on this new OS I may switch over, but I'm going to give it a good testing first. I'll post more info when I have done more testing. If you can get yours hands on Beta 1 I would suggest giving it a try but partition and dual boot rather than doing and upgrade or clean install.
