Did anyone get any type of Antivirus Program to work with this? I am using the 64bit version. It found more hardware than vista ultimate and it is just as fast as vista.
RE:Longhorn Server Beta 3 by Dominator_Physco on 2007-04-29 20:55:44
It uses DirectX 10 and oh yeah, it is faster than Vista. the first couple of bootups, it hung but after that - it as fast as a Russian Thoroughbred. I'm still testing and it is also drivers shy - it has a feature where you can make it load others drivers, but you may have problems rebooting. More work is needed here.
