soo i finally sucked it up. installed .... Vista Beta 2 Build 5384
Good points, found all my hardware on my laptop, Rather impressive. I got a Dell Inspiron 9300
.... about all i noticed was good haha its user friendly but for someone like me where i get to learn all over again a new interface is kinda annoying...
speaking of which. its all bells and whistles i wanna just shoot myself.... I'm in Classic mode now just cause I hate the look of a desktop a 4 yr old mashed together...
Another note, after i installed the OS it crashed (not a bluid screen) it was a full crash. this was about 10mins haha. but it is BETA so i'm enjoying finding the bugs. I have until apparently June 1 2007 to play with this but i need to ship this HDD back to dell in 4days sooooooo I'll be back to my XP
PS i'm running 32 bit version, runs pretty fast. I could easily see myself using this instead of XP, i'll wait for some more program support
Laptop Stats...
nVidia Geforce 6800 GO 256 MEG
Intel M 2ghz
100 gig 5400 SATA
2gigs Ram

Just got all the DVDs of the new complete Office family and Windows from my friend at MSFT...supposedly the more advanced versions of what was provided online (and the office CD includes a lot more than what was available)...it's more of a promotional package.
Office looks pretty awesome (but I've seen it before on my friend's machine) it's totally different now.

I got the whole "Office 2007" sweet running at work is nice, doesnt take to long to get used to the new "Ribbon" bar. I know there is a "Office System" package out there its like 6 cd's has the Groove server and Share point server included. its wild
