i would love to know everyone's thoughts on Vista. I have a beta installed

on a extra laptop i have at work and personally i like XP better!

There is a "Sticky" on top of this section with a few opinions plus if you go back to the first pages of this section there are others.

The "beta" and "RC" versions should no longer be used. Beyond the legality issue the main concern is security updates and there have been many.

"Beta" versions leave your entire computer open to attack not to mention anyone else's that comes in contact with that computer.

After 31 May 2007, customers who continue to use pre-release versions of Windows Vista will be able to log in for 2-hour sessions to retrieve data. After 2 hours of use, the PC will automatically reboot without providing the opportunity to save data. The opportunity to log in normally for these 2-hour sessions will be available only until 28 August 2007. It is strongly recommended that PC users running any of these pre-release versions of Windows Vista migrate their PCs to the final version of Windows Vista or another operating system prior to 31 May.

IMHO..........MS can keep Windows Vista, I'm not planning on runing it untill someone pries Windows XP out of my cold dead hands. Just my 2 ¢

I must admit I haven't jumped on Vista although I do plan on buying a new machine for work and so I'll get a chance to play around with it.
