I'm curious to know if anyone is running Vista beta 2 on an XPS M1210 and how it is running. Is there any problem getting Aero to run on it?

I installed it and wasn't impressed. Yes I know it is only a beta, but I did not feel like spending all day screwing with it to get everything working. I was hoping that almost everything would be supported as it's recent hardware. It had a performance rating of "1" and would blue screen everytime I would try to re-run the performance rating program. Almost nothing was supported on a clean boot so I tried to find Vista drivers. I tried to load the latest video drivers and I got a message saying "you must run this from windows" type of message so I had to load them manually. The boot time was 3 times as long as XP and I never could find out how to get the aero glass interface to run, which is half of the reason I put it on there in the first place. I finally gave up and popped my original HD back in and figured if I'm ever bored I'd fiddle with it again.
