And it goes without saying but I'll say it anyway-> Do Not Install it on a mission critical machine.

A: I don't have an extra machine to risk except a sock-A which probably wouldn't run it anyway.
B: I don't want to slow my machine down for hours to DL it...
C: I'll be sticking to XP for as long as I can anyway, TYVM.

I downloaded this lastnight and got it setup.
Really, I like it. I understand it's BETA now, and things are gonna change. But it saw all my hardware without any drivers installed, which is better then vista already. Vista didn't see me LAN or Onboard sound.
Anywho, it seems to be quicker then Vista once you on the desktop screen. It takes about as long to boot as Vista.
So far so good IMO.  | |
