At least XP SP2.Originally posted by Aaron8209:wah...so fast nine....just 8.1 now 9...how cool....fast sia....got any different?meant for vista only?guess no rite...lol
Beta apps are always fast, because we are on different servers and the code base changes slightly. There are also not so many features, so it contributes to the speed as well. So don't ask if it's fast.
One thing about Beta - it crashes. So if you are not tech savvy, don't ask for it. -
