I do not know how many of you were registered software developers with M...and received both copies of the new Vista beta codename(longhorn) with key for 10 PC`s.Well any how I got mine last week and just got around to installing it to check it out.I will say we have left the 20th century and entered the 21st.It has quirks that are being updated daily and is a OS system that is meant to be online.Such as you do not have to activate it.It activates itself as soon as your online.Other wise you only have 14 days to do it by phone etc...I will post time to time of its new built ins which are tons.If you have tried it lets communicate.I think I will learn to enjoy the experience although it is for tomorrows super computers where space,speed and memory is no object.Jo

You'll find lots of people here have tried the Beta, Jo.

I have a copy of the latest Beta, but have yet to install it. Id have to install another HDD to get it running, as I cannot afford to muck up my drives with partitioning.

Some screenies of the new stuff would be great

last i heard... september... RC1 was going to be made availble to the people who signed up for the orginal beta...
