My Vista Demo

7 videos and 4 screenshots of Vista

from WinCustomize Forums

I decided to post my Vista Demo Videos after beeing inspired by Brad's Demo. I used CamStudio for screen recording which by the way is free so I recommend it to everyone. I used Windows Movie Maker for mixing videos up together with sound and music and export to 1024px by 576px WMV.* I also posted some full-size 1680px by 1050 px screenshots to accompany the demo.

*Technical Note: My screen has a resolution 1680px by 1050px so some details in the demos might appear small as the video was resized down a bit to reduce its size.

Please let me know if there is any other feature that you wish me to include in the future.

I like Vista very much. There are still quite a few bugs but I imagine those will be solved by the final release. I wrote a more detailed article about my Vista experience here http://lifeisagame.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?AID=129859

Otherwise I will definetely upgrade to Vista Ultimate as I am computer geek and I always want everything the newest from hardware to software no matter the price.

can you make a video going over the hierarchy of Vista? i mean im sure its similar to XP but i read a long time ago (like a month after it was changed to vista) that the hierarchy would be a little different, and something with virtual folders. also, could you maximize some windows? cause in earlier builds the title bar turned black, i want to know if its still like that, also, can things but placed over the sidebar? can you minimize some windows as well, and then hover over the taskbar to show the tooltip or whatever its called?

thanks, great viedos and intro to Windows Vista. i can't wait, though i'll need a new computer, or some major upgrades.

thank you very much. also, do you think you could go in detail about the themes? it looks like you aren't using aeroglass, it looks like you're using a blue one with high transparencies. but yeah, can you also go over the aero themes, the whatever the ones without transparencies are called, the XP theme if there is one, and well as the classic theme? thanks man, i really liked you demos so far.
