Intel: Thunderbolt coming to PCs, prototype shown at IDF 2011



Guess what, Wintel loyalists? "Apple's" Thunderbolt I/O port is coming your way. If you'll recall, Thunderbolt was actually built with Intel's collaboration (Light Peak, anyone?), and sensibly, the chip giant is now making it possible for the port to appear on non-Mac machines. The news was just broken here at IDF, where a Haswell-based machine was briefly teased with a heretofore unpossible T-bolt port. Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group, was on-stage to showcase six pre-production Ultrabook designs (all based on 3rd generation Intel Core processors), but stopped short of telling us exactly when the Thunderbolt I/O port would make its debut on commercially available rigs.

UPDATE: Acer and ASUS are onboard for a 2012 launch!

thanks ! ^

[S_2NR]

and if i want to remove it after, i just have to delete the partition right? and no boot menu, windows 8, etc?

[M_2NR]

^i could have easily told you in your own words but i chose not to.

yes. you can just delete it. the bootmgr should notice it is gone and it wont appear again. or thats how it worked for win7 beta.

IF you ever get boot issues no matter the OS, read this up to help restore window's bootmgr.exe.

[S_2NR]

thanks.. was more concerned about the boot menu because i saw windows 8 comes with a new boot menu..wasnt certain if it would cause conflicts at boot if it was deleted.

blasted thing keep crashing

will try it on another pc later

32-bit version installed well on an old Sempron AM2 system. Graphics subsystem on that machine rates as a 2.0 so it runs kinda sluggish (as expected). Needs to be activated to "personalize" features.

Google chrome for the desktop? Surely worth another $ 200.00 U.S.

Ok so since the 64bit was to big to fit on a DVD I had no chocie but to mount it , when mounted there was no option to install it to my other partition , hence no dual boot was possible , install as normal and made my previous windows 7 into windows.old ....


So far it's been superb except for one thing , no matter how many times I try to get flash working on the Internet explorer it never works , so I use firefox ...it's not as smooth as xp or windows 7 but it runs like windows vista ....I guess that's because of the new gui embedded within the desktop...so far so good so I'm keeping it on my laptop ...weather app is great but I can't figure out ow to change it to degrees Celsius.

Now when I connect the laptop to my tv I get full surround sound from my tv so I no longer hear sound from my laptop once connect to my tv's hdmi (finally)

Has not not crash or stick as yet on me even though I rel try to get it to stick ...


Boot to login In screen takes a hell of a long time , I could actually go make a drink and return before my login screen shows up.....


If anyone on 64 bit figures out how to fix Internet explorer flash update please let me know , I tried both 10.3 and the 11.4 beta , epic fail

[M_2NR]

yuh lost yuh flash drive or something? you could have made a bootable Flash drive and run it.

I hope ppl realize something... this is not even a beta or RC... its a DP. I'm surprised ppl pc eh crashing etc. win7 1st beta was a load of balls... and this is pre-beta.

BTW anyone seen snags?

I tired that for a couple hours on both a flash and external hd ...epic fail it kept returning errors like no boot.ini file found and no license.rtf found then the file was to big cus apparently the software formatted the drive to fat32 which can't take more than 4 gigs and the os is 4.8 gigs ....I didn't bother to try the command prompt method though cus after a while jus got fed up and mounted it

hmmmmm

[ismithx]

yea trust me the only way to install it is with a mounted iso or on dvd.... at first it might mess up and slow down the boot menus tho eh...

[M_2NR]

gonna vbox it just now.
if you all need more info check here:
http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-ti ... irtualbox/

iDynamic i hope you didnt try to copy the iso directly to the flash drive... anyway whatever.

[iDynamic]

^ that is a great tutorial there for people who new to this thing ..... And nah I didn't try to copy it directly but don't worry .



So I saw an option saying create picture password then I got excited thinking it was some facial recognition security feature ...apparently its something totally different for and for tablets

[M_2NR]

currently installing it using Vbox. not a hitch... yet. lol not just new. It save lots of hours of tinkering. it's a pain in the @$$ to have to play around with setting just to get it to "work".

EDIT: Installed. lags a lil in vbox. I'm downloading the non dev version and might throw that on my laptop. Hopefully that doesnt mess up things with my copy of 7 which i need to be working.

Make sure you install from the bios , that the only way to dual boot ......

anyone else having issues with the shutdown ? .......each time I shut it down it never fully shuts down for some reason

i actually used the dev version the 4.8GB version. worked without a hitch. its just laggy in vbox though...

overall i like it. Wished i had a tab to play with it on.

I was reading that they already chucked in win8 on the Acer Iconia W500. mostly everything works on it. Too bad my padna one is unavailable right now.

[RASC]

Like I've been saying all along... The metro u/i is so clean and responsive... Microsoft implementation on WP7 was so flawless that the natural progression to the desktop and tablet realm was only a matter of time.

[M_2NR]

and xbox gonna get a flavor of it too afaik

[ismithx]

why allyuh losers vboxing it? let it run in full nah! enjoy the awesomeness of it!
