vista 360

I have two questions:
1) Will Vista be working with the 360 soon? 5308 would hang and I havent tried 5348 yet.
2) Will the 360 be getting or already have an updated media center UI that will match Vista instead of MCE-05?
thanks Nick

Yes, the XBOX 360 should be working with Vista by around BETA 2 or possibly the April CTP. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

thanks andre, any word on the interface itself on the 360? will it match the new Vista media center or still be the old media center 05 interface? Would be nice to have the new Vista media center interface. "Andre Da Costa [Extended64]" wrote in message

Quick point, i'm currently on build 5381, Xbox 360 still not working as an extender, as for the UI on the Xbox 360 the UI is taken from the Media Center PC, so whether its MCE 2005 or Vista MCE the UI will be identical to what you see on your PC monitor, its not pre-loaded on an extender its copied from the Media Center PC. So when using an Xbox 360 or any extender with Vista you will see the Vista UI.

So when can I use Vista Beta 2 and 360 to watch recorded TV? Last I heard the date for 360 VISTA Extender was April.

May I ask exactly how you got Windows Vista Beta 2 considering the fact that it is NOT even out yet?
P.S. Build 5381 is NOT Beta 2, by the way, and IS Under an NDA, just FYI.

I never heard of that, Jason. And since I don't have the Xbox 360, guess I won't need it. Very interesting, though.

I've been trying to install VS2005 on Vista build 5308 for the past couple days without any luck. I got error 1935 messages and error occur during set up come up. For those who done it please provide some instructions would be greatly appreciated.
