Makes me think twice now of installing the Vista beta.It's expected (still Beta 1) and Microsoft advised everyone to wait for Beta 2. If I could find it, I'd install it right away because I'll still have XP for important tasks :D

It's nice to test, but I wouldn't make it your main system. :D

I plan on testing it as soon as I can find the time.XP has been very solid so as said before Vista won't be a main stay for a while.:D
