[karmeck]

Kinda long time since some one posted something about this, so Whats goooooooooooooooooooing oooooon

[Budwise]

nobody knows...

[alexio]

I was contacted a while ago for beta testing, but haven't had a reply to my response.

[NickS]

Chill out guys. nn is away on vacation right now anyway.

[nn_step]

it is being prepared, your patience will be rewarded

Awesome nn

What about Vista DX10 vs Xsos v3 DX10

Merry Christmas nn and take your time!

[ColonelCain]

Exactly. I say that we stop bothering nn about it, and just give it time. There would be no point for him to spend all this time programing it, and not release it. Give it time.

[karmeck]

getting kinda tired of the all waiting nothing deliver game, to my knowledge there has only been one media release. And any one that say they think it is all is bogus, can you really blame them?

[Hlafordlaes]

First post IIRC, after a good while lurking and learning on XS.

This project sounds intriguing and just wanted to go on record as willing to beta test v3.0 if and when.

Well do you want him to do it quick or do you want him to do it right?

karmack stop the hating i'd like to see you do your own xsos version

[Movieman]

You can. Go download vlite or nlite and you too can make a hyper stripped down version of XP or Vista. People share them on various bit torrent sites all the time. There are also guides listing how to do this one file at a time. All it takes in the second case is a lot of time and some degree of trial and error.

There's 3 comments of yours in this thread that I just read and none positive.
If your not interested in what nn_step is trying to do then please leave the thread to those that are.
Don't troll here please.

He's busy.

[Shaz]

What's he's doing appears to be way more than vLite too.

Vlite is a good app in it self, but it will never be able to optimize resource usage as a selfmade build. (taken knowledge exists)

The author of Vlite have to cater for all kinds of users, clever, stupid and even more stupid.

I took a look on the xsos image some time ago (don't know what version it was).
Looked like win2k stripped down with hfslip.
HFSlip can be used to integrate hotfixes and sp's in an installer cd.
In oposite to nlite/vlite it replaces all the dll's on the install media with the ones from the hotfixes. nlite/vlite integrates them during installation using silent install switches.
HFSlip is just one big batch file mainly so it can be tweaked easy if you are familar with batch scripts under windows.

whats that got to do with xsos 3?

We will see. Not sure what parts of the os is redesigned on a source base, but hfslip was used to strip down w2k for xsos 2 or to integrate the modified parts easy.

[karmeck]

Well do you want him to do it quick or do you want him to do it right?

I want it fast rater then right.

But this has been going on for some time now, so taking long time don't really seem to get it right dose it?

And every time some one question it. they get bashed for it. You don't even know what you are defending, come on.

So go write your own OS and quit your stupid complaining.

Well maybe it hasn't taken long enough, and so YOU want it fast ok it'll end up exactly the same as normal vista then all slow n sluggish with bugs etc

the point is it will take AS LONG AS IT TAKES not when you or I want it to sure I'm with you on it's taking a long time... but there not going to be doing it on purpose just to say HA look at those idiots waiting for it... We got told by NN that it will be coming out I trust his words and you should too, it's not his fault if things take longer then he originally planned although he didn't actually set a Date

so

beggars can't be choosers and just wait

and/or install a Lite version of Vista for now

So you think it will be the same as someone Vliteing basically with some Xsos logo's about mmm I know where your coming from but this ones sounds like their doing a lot more on this one so fingers crossed it turns out well and AWESOME =]

[Shaz]

Clearly it's not just stripping it out. It's being done properly, there's no use hassling him because it won't be any faster with that.
