    no not really, i would rather use the final version of the product, if i wanna use a beta ill install it in VPC
  • RNRN
    NEVER. And I never will.

    betas arent stable enough to use as a main os
  • DevilsJim89DevilsJim89
    Never. It's not stable enough and its still too buggy and most programs are compatable with it yet for it too run smoothly.

    Its good on a 2nd or 3rd..etc PC for just playing around wiith.

    Stableness isnt an excuse. Ive use betas many of times and they run just fine.

    Ive ran Chicago in place of WFWG, NT5 Beta-1 in place of NT4, and Cairo in place on NT 3.51
  • DevilsJim89DevilsJim89
    Many of times...yes but as your PRIMARY OS?
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Yes, but not on my primary PC
  • SlashSlash
    I ran Chicago 73 as a primary OS for 3 weeks on FrosT's old 386 CPU.

    Stableness isn't an excuse, it's a reason not to use it as a PRIMARY OS. I don't feel like relying on a beta to help my needs and never to crash because as a beta, its more than likely too.

    I never used a beta OS, but my BIOS version is a beta. but it is as stable as a final version. Its the last version that was made for my Asus P2B-f mainboard.
    I have bios version 1014-BETA003 ACPI
    I needed it to fix ACPI problems with windows XP.
  • SlashSlash
    Hmmm... that's easy... Just use non-ACPI kernel in Windows XP

    Hey! I've forgot that FrosT (OpenNet) uses Longhorn 4051 as his primary OS!

    A Beta OS as the primary? When MS releases a version of windows it is still a Beta. Thats why windows is still unstable and MS makes patches and updates all the damn time. That's how I see it as.
  • QQ
    Fine then, OFFICAL beta.

    Windows is NOT unstable, and is NOT a beta... Explain your theory of how its unstable, and why all PC manufactures use windows. Explain it... If you dont respond to this, that just says "OK I dont know what Im talking about."


    Betas are not supposed to be used as the main OS. Ive used Neptune, Chicago, etc in VPC, but I would NEVER use them as my main OS... Well, maybe Neptune, because its so good, but XP Pro is the way to go!

    windows is bad to start off with, but once u disable some stuff and change a few settings its stable
