Re: Windows Vista Beta 2 Download Available

32 bit, install is complete.

A few teething issues - seemed to attack the hard disk for a while and then calm down (I think it was building search index).

It didn't like the default Nvidia driver, but one from the Nvidia website is okay.

Microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard don't like working through usb hub (crashed on every video I played until I worked this out).

Not sure if you care, but I've jotted down my first impressions for you:

- It looks nice, better than the "similar" themes available for XP
- The Start menu is much, much better and I really like it
- It is fairly fast compared to what I was expecting, and quite stable
- Window animations are nice, not sure if I'll get bored of them
- Getting around Explorer takes some getting used to - difficult to locate things when you're used to XP
- No idea whether I can use this as my main OS but I will install a few things and try
