1) XSOS is not Vista
2) we contain absolutely NO DRM software or support for it
3) we are freeware

[jbizzler]

let me ask you a question, when you attempt to download such tools in any other *nix, what usually happens?

Well, if i try in Firefox, it has me download a validation tool, run it, and get some security code. other than that, I have no clue.

[hixie]

So technically one could just give XSOS to someone else without MS coming over for a cup of tea?

absolutely

nn-step, what is the procedure I would need to do, to get my fat little hands on this piece of software perfection?

1)wait until release
2) download the ISO
3) burn ISO to CD/DVD
4) boot computer to install.

[XSAlliN]

Will you release this before R600 - do you have a launch date in mind?

@nn_step:

What about the games that are copy protected with DRM dependant systems ? (Like StarF.) Will they work (original retail) or we will have to wait *fixed* versions that have protections removed ?

Thank You.

Thank You.

The honest truth is It depends and the even more honest truth is I haven't had the chance to test every game, nor have I bought any Starforce infected game, so I am not absolutely certain.

@nn_step:

Thank's for prompt reply Anyway, if it is not too much trouble for you, you can try 'Track Mania Nations' from NADEO, it's free, you can DL it from TMN site, it's about ~265MB. Or you can simply leave it to users to try this out once you realise the XSOS 3

Thnak You for this great project !

a thought occured to me after my brother yelled at me about his phone not working with his computer, and i realized i turned the service "telephony" off on his computer, will XSOS be able to support devices such as a palm pilot and a cell phone?

This is designed as a Gaming OS first and for most. Features beyond that may or may not be added depending on the needs of the majority.

so basically your saying no to stuff like input devices such as a palm pilot or cell phone?

That would be a shame

I am really hoping XSOS would replace vista for me period but I might still have to dual boot both.

Question, why not just copy this type of device support and other things you don't want to develop over from vista?

or have it available but disabled unless needed?

umm it isn't that easy but I'll see about it.


and this is about as good as DX9.0C can get

and this is why we are going to support DX10

[dirtwarrior]

WOW dx 10 is quite good with rendering

[jVIDIA]

nn_step, when XSOS v3 will be public ?

[elec999]

nstep, well will you let us beta test this.
Thanks

[nn_step]

nstep, well will you let us beta test this.
Thanks

absolutely, I'm still working on feedback and trying to make this a flawless Beta launch.

[dirtwarrior]

I cant wait to try this also, but I must wait

[Spawne32]

[gx-x]

well, you will first need a dx10 graphics card and 7600gt sure ain't one

[nn_step]

you only need a DX10 card if you wish to use that feature of the Operating system
