[Speederlander]

and if you have any questions feel free to ask

What exactly is XSOS and what are its goals?

[nn_step]

XSOS is an operating System, much like Linux and windows
The current goal is to provide a DRM free Gaming platform

Sounds like just what I've been looking for as I have no intention of using Vista with all its DRM crap

Very vistaesque I like it . Just ordered Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit and have a spare partition waiting for you nn

[erwinz]

nice.. cant wait to test this..

[Otaking71]

64 bit...32bit..or both?

[phi|os]

The people demand to know...WHEN!!!???

[Kingcarcas]

ZOMG! i'm so excited, i bought a cheap rig just to test this and it's on the way

[nn_step]

The people demand to know...WHEN!!!???

when it is ready, unless you prefer a rushed unfinished and crude Version that may not be perfect. In which case, you probably might as well buy windows ME

Gah ME was terrible.
Take your time man it's looking very promising
I'm impressed that you are already getting there with a vista release it's not even publically available yet!
I'm guessing that a full purchased ver of vista is required before running this?
Keep us posted

[NapalmV5]

drm free!
trash free!
$ free!

nice!

cant wait to give it a try.. wud to like to see how much faster than my winxp..

when available to the masses?

[nn_step]

Yes this OS fully supports DX10 Natively

oh goodie

can't wait for DRM free OS

XSOS 3.0 is one of the main things I am really excited about in '07 One other thing is K8L and its mainboards.

Looks already really nice nn. Is it a stripped down version (featurewise) or does it just lack what nobody needs?

I guess you didnt make it worse than previous XSOS, so it will be more than great.

QFT, but to me it is THE most exciting thing I'm looking forward to in 2007. Just look at that memory usage. Seems I could live a little longer with this 1GB RAM kit.

Wonder if NUMA will speed up the multi threaded GS mode (MTGS) and dual core mode in PCSX2 PS2 emulator I'm currently trying it out and it seems this dual core & MTGS mode option offers like 35~60% speedboost depending on game for my Opteron 165.

I think that changing the gui is less important. If some people wanted to contribute a wallpaper pack or something to spice things up a bit, that might be an option, but functionality is key methinks . I'm sure that I and others would be willing to do some graphic design work though should the need arise...

I'm guessing that like the previous versions of XSOS we need a valid Windows licence key, but will we need a vista key to use Version 3?

[xlink]

questions -

how good is the itnernet support, is it as easy to get online as XP?
drivers, which ones should I use?
32bit or 64bit

[I)ickie]

I'm guessing that like the previous versions of XSOS we need a valid Windows licence key, but will we need a vista key to use Version 3?

I'd like to know this too.
Also curious to find out which driver set we should run with this 64 or 32?

Will my xp pro serial work ?

[dinos22]

the only thing is that the other XSOS was too crippled IMO.......

[Sailindawg]

1) Is this a stand alone system or does it piggy back on XP or VISTA?

2) If this is based similar to LINUX, why do I need a valid WinXP license key?

3) If I need a valid XP license key, do i have to activate this XSOS though M$ after installation?

4) Is this a 32 bit or 64 bit system?

5) Will it support SLI/SLI enabled drivers? Can I still use nVidia drivers for my board?

6) Will I be able to have internet access through my onboard lan?

7) Dx10 support?

Not trying to be PIA, but I have been roaming forums to determine LINUX can be used for running games. Unfortunately, that answer is not very solidly. It can run some, but not others. I support your efforts, but I'm trying to understand what operating system and how one can use it instead of XP or VI$TA.

Thanks ahead.

(1) Stand alone
(2) not similar to linux, just the kernel
(3) no AFAIK ( according to V2 which i used )
(4) 32bit
(5) Sli for sure, it is mainly for gamers/benchmarkers dude
(6) YES for sure also
(7) YES

all fo ur questions' answers was mentioned before by nn_step

beside IMHO Linux is not for gamers yet

Ultimately no keys are required and we are not going to check everyone to make sure they own a Microsoft product. Ultimately we are supposed to suggest you own one M$ os, however I couldn't care if it was 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista.

It lacks things that NO User here needs. Such as DRM, Trusted Platform, and that Keylogger
