Who else here is now running a copy of Vista Beta 2? I was quite surprised once i had installed it. Its come a long way since the very very first leaked version i tried. Everything on my pc driver wise works! (im running it on my old desktop. Athlon XP, 1gb ram, 200gb SATA hdd, Radeon 9800pro) and it runs quite fast and smooth.
It will take a while to get used to changing settings as everything seems to have changed now :| Has anyone else installed Vista on a test PC? The only thing im yet to test is games confused:

Being that I don't have a test PC, negative, although I would love to try it.

I hear it's pretty good.
Friend downloaded it and said it looks really nice, but uses a ****load of system memory.

'07. I THINK June. I'm pretty sure I'm wrong, though.
