Ehm, i have this last build now but, is it safe to install? Like i know small flaws may be there but, is it safe? No security lacks? safe to surf without hackers free to entrance and soever? than i might install it. But is it possible to go back to XP afterwards without formatting the pc? And i mean original state of xp... same settings/background etc

you could install it on a new partition and just boot vista instead of xp, thats wat i'm going to do

Agree, but then you'll have a clean vista installation and you'll have to install all programs again on that partition :/ i'm not going to install everything twice then i'd rather wait for the final dutch version to write over XP... is it actually still far away from the final version, this one? if it's almost ready and this beta is almost the final one, i don't care and i'll just install over xp. Otherwise i'm not going to please myself with bugs and os with different language ...

Funny about that. What else to you expect to visually see ?

People that wanna test Vista an report bugs should use it but dont use it for there primary Use. a Beta or alpha isnt 'Safe" to use at all, unless you know there will be problems. Vista may not support your Graphics card all that well,

Another thing, how come everybody can download it from connect.microsoft.com and i not? it's not in the list...

No idea...i dont see the point in downloading it though, XP is perfectly good, Vista isnt all that great apart from the UI and its worth 2gig, no thanks

Well let it be i got it anyways...

My feedback about vista:
ist very slow. XP works so much faster. Maybe i have to add more memory, but even with classic design, slow. Compare it like adsl vs cable. Also there are still bugs. Driversupport is okay. He only doesn't find my audiocard's driver. Nice visual effects. But it still needs work. Navigation shows most flaws. The navigation doesn't work fine. Also folders with video's and pictures take long time before the thumbnails are loaded and created, while in xp it takes a couple of seconds...

But i bet it will be fine in the final release.
