Does anyone know who has installed it. would you use this as your main os yet?

if your coumputer doesnt lag in it, then i suggest keep it cuz most bugs are gone now, should be safe to use

thanks...I'm gonna install it for tomorrow

I'd advise dual booting so you have your old version of windows and this beta on another partition. So if anything goes wrong you can always just go back .

A Beta as it is, is not secure enough to use as a main desktop OS with that in mind do as Chestah said, dualboot it

hell worse comes to worse I'll just reformat with xp later no harm no foul

Im dual booting it with XP and I have tried to install anti-virus programs or firewalls and they dont work because of the OS not being recognized yet, I would use vista only for testing.

Well the short answer is no.. Duel boot it like everyone has said..

I "tried" to dual boot it. But it did it and all of that but now it wont laod XP . I think this is becuase it changed the "Windows" folder to "Windows.old" So it thinks it has gone
Anyway, I am using it as my OS cos I have too becuase i dont have the XP disc anymore

Just a point to note, since it's Beta software Microsoft don't actually have to ensure upgrade compatibility when RC1, etc and the final versions are released, so you may have to reformat again when they come out.
(Beta 2 expires in July 2007, so I'm told)

So, no, don't use it in a production / home environment. VMWare is a handy tool if you want to see how it works though.
