screw that i dont care

does it still have minesweeper?!?!

Not all of them are implemented, but the ones that are can't be seen on my Vaio - it's only got an ATI 7500 in it. I will install on my desktop machine later this evening after COD.

EDIT: Minesweeper lives, and it still looks as horrible as ever.

Okay, so I had a problem with the battery indicator not showing the correct information. And as a good, honest tester, I opened up the bug reporting tool and filled out all the info required of me and hit submit. I got this:

So, how does one submit a bug when the bug reporter itself is buggy enough to crash the entire machine?

He probably doesn't, but if he needed it, MS do have it on file.

After about 6 hours of pissing around, I have it running on my shuttle.

You'll be glad to know that it doesn't seem to support USB keyboards at the boot manager, there's no way you can have OpenGL drivers and still have the new eye candy yet, the nForce platform drivers cause the entire machine to stop working properly. Soundblaster Extigy things cause the machine to reboot as soon as they're plugged in.

I've not gotten around to installing any games, but without sound, I'm not really in the mood to.

EDIT: Guild wars seems happy enough with the stock Fista driver.

pfft!

how much different from XP is it?

are we talking win 95 to 98, or 3.1 to 95?
