Blender 2.5 How to Preview Render?

HI I am new to Blender 2.5 and cannot figure out how to preview render. Any help on this would be great. Thanks

Press F12 to render/preview the still image/frame
Press CTRL+F12 to render the animation.
Press Alt+A to preview the animation.

Is there analogue of the "render preview" window in Blender 2.5 (toggled Shift+P in Blender 2.49)?

Same issue

I can't seem to find it either. I've noticed a new (?) OpenGL quick render in the bottom of the 3D viewport, but I really miss the Render Preview window—it was really useful to preview details of the models...

Perhaps, this tool will appear in release-version?

Now in 2.58, if you are in the camera view you can toggle first Shift+B (select the part you want to preview the part will be in a red square) and hit F12. you will get your preview like in 2.49

It is not the same as preview from 2.49. In 2.49 preview was realtime :-(

Under Render in the scene tab, Next to "Display" there is a drop down box. Select "New Window" Same as 2.49

It was in real time on the previous version. Shift + P would open a SMALL preview window ( like this: http://cgcookie.com/blender/2009/04/06/ ... rendering/ ) , one would drag it to a slice of an object and changes in textures would immidiately (in real time) be visible in that slice of a preview window (without a need to press F12). It would be great if that option was reimplemented (maybe there is, but cannot find it?).

The Cycles renderer will update in real-time in the 3D view, while you’re editing.
