User blog:BF10/Windows Beta builds I HATE!

Throughout the history of exploring Windows beta versions, I have to admit that a few builds are not really that great or even the bane of my existence after installing them. Here are my most hated adversaries in the history of Windows builds.

2: Windows XP?
Windows XP build 2458 has the worst experience in all Whistler builds. As sad as it is to place a beta of this great OS on the list, I felt like it needs to be added. In other words, it is simply a more buggy version of build 2428. The Luna theme is in beta, you have Red canyon background, but what's worse? You have file copy errors, and a corrupt driver that prevents you from connecting to the internet. If you even try to connect, your machine simply hangs. Because of that, using this build is near impossible, sometimes it will hang during startup!

1: Yep, you know what this could be...
Windows ME build 2419 takes the cake for the worst Windows beta around! Not only is this the last build before interface changes, its also unstable, and even compares with the RTM (which isn't even that unstable when you compare to this crap). Explorer crashes within seconds after booting, and then eventually, your machine happily hangs. Since I run this on PCem, after the machine hangs, it also somehow manages to corrupt the .bin files for the BIOS PCem needs to run. In the long end, I had to recover the BIOS myself. Never run this on PCem as a result.
