As soon as Vista goes Gold, all Vista Beta activity will end. That means,
even though the Beta will still run, there will be no more updates through
Windows Update. No place to send bug reports. The Vista Tech Beta is
shutting down. No need for Vista Beta Newsgroups, etc.
 
Thing is, this isn't a beta newsgroup, to my knowledge ..

It's just microsoft.public.windows.vista.general , the general windows vista
public microsoft forum..

Well, yeah - what'd you expect to happen? The point of a beta is to provide
feedback to help mold the final product. Once the final, or gold, build is
reached, there is no more need for input to help shape it. Feedback then
shifts to functionality changes in future service packs or the next version
of the operating system.

The people in this Newsgroup will still be asking for help, wanting to know
why there are no more updates, will still want to know where to send bug
reports, how to get a key, etc. I simply stated that all of this is about to
end.

Yes, and it will be here and busy for many years.
 
Actually that isn't true at all.

There will be Vista Beta Newsgroups and still places to fill bug reports.

The Tech Beta is moving on to Longhorn Server.

The Vista Beta Newsgroups (the private ones anyways) will continue along for
a bit longer according to Microsoft.

Windows Server Long Horn is what The Private Beta Tester's are supposed
to be testing next, I got very tired of listening to Their Please Give
Us a Free Copy of RTM Posts, and decided not to stick around for the
Server Beta, Just FYI.
 
I would like to know what is the criteria is for a file or folder being
automatically backed-up and when is it backed-up?

I know you can turn Previous Versions on or off by disabling Automatic
Restore Points for a given volume in system properties, but doesn't that
disable System Restore as well?

I work with large video files frequently and I don't want to waste 500+ megs
of space on shadow copies of those files. Is my only option to create a
seperate partition and turn restore off for that drive?

Also, is the following a bug in RC2? I installed RC2 using Virtual PC 2007
beta. I have two virtual hard drives, but the available disks in System
Protection only show Drive C. The other virtual drive is formatted, has a
drive letter and does contain files. Why doesn't the other virtual drive
show up?
