Well M$ is impressing me more and more!

I was about ready to jump ship to mac w/ xp 2ndary for necessity.
I was real disappointed with some of vistas direction.

I got and ran Beta2 x86 and x64 and was very underwhelmed as many of u read in my posts.

Well just got (non-public) build 5472x86 let me be the first to say:
M$ is starting to pull it together!!! I am very much liking what Im seeing!!
The first build i tried was a driver and computability nightmare!!! Now on my desktop and lappie both only require 1 driver each after oob install, they are easy to find and were mature enuf!

I had Beta2 x64 on my desktop w/ 512ddr400 and it was horrid!!!!
I put the new release x86 same ram and its sooooo much faster and stable!!!
I read that this release had special tuning for better performance on 512 ram, furthermore I think the x64 still has growing pains/infancy issues. XP64 screamed on this same machine though???

also my beta2 key works and activates fine, hopefully this will remain sumwhat legal on all builds until the final release is out!

For jilly

forget ur Beta2 DVD........
DL(torrent) the new 5472 build, u can get the msdn iso clean off torrent. Then use the Beta2 serial you got from signup(email) as it works fine(activates legal too), this build is sooooo much better than Beta2, havnt tried 64 edition on desktop(Athlon 64 3000) or 32 edition on my laptop, but 32 on my desktop IS GRRREAT!! runs pretty well w/ 512 ram still gig would be nice.
