No, 8". Vista does support those, right? :suss:

Yes; once Microsoft gets the SP1 driver problems fixed, you should have no problems. Let's see now, 8" floppies, that'll be like, 900,000+ of those, with a gross weight of like 1.4 tons, stuffed into about 423,000 boxes, using 120,000 yards of bubble wrap (non-static kind, of course), shipped via UPS nextday air . . . So ... that'll be like, 2.53 million in shipping and handling charges. Shog, we're gonna need a valid Credit Card number please, and a doctor's note that says your not completely insane. Oh wait, you're running Vista ... ok, never mind on that doctor's note thing ... just the CC number ... and 12 forms of I.D. :rolleyes:

xacc.ide - now with IronScheme support
IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 1 out nowThe release notes for Vista SP1 Release Candidate on MS's site says the file size is about 550 MB for the standalone all-languages version and 450 MB for the standalone version with 5 languages. (can anyone who downloaded a SP1 RC confirm this?) I don't think the file size changed that much between RC and RTM. I'm not sure what that file is, but it's not an officially released version. EDIT: According to a comment there, the file contains both the 32bit and 64bit version of the SP1 (that's why it's so large). It's not officially released, but Beta testers and OEMs already got the SP1 RTM, looks like one of them leaked the file to betanews. I'll wait for the official download from Microsoft's website.

I'm supposed to trust a SP from a beta news site? Where's the release from an official Microsoft website? Marc

Slashdot's too busy trying to figure out the fake conspiracy behind the Microsoft v Yahoo acquisition to report important news like this. Please don't panic.

Wow, once they ship SP1 for 64bit I may have a customer or two who will upgrade.

It looks as though 64 bit is there as well.

Thank you for that reasoned argument. I always like it when a moron backs their specious arguments with well rounded and cogent arguments.

New computers come out with quite big HDDs these days... I'd say it's gonna take like 1% of their capacity. Please remind me size of WinXP SP1 and size of average hard disc in those days? Just curious (and lazy to look it up :P)
