The download manager just sits there and says "Connected". On IE it won't even open the page (using Max' links).

EDIT: Works now! 20 kbs :P

Is beta 2 ok to use as a main os?, is there a software compatability list for vista yet?

I think it just comes up as a dual boot when you boot it that way

Windows Vista Beta software compatibility list
This may help people to decide if they want to install it or not.

I cant really be bothered, i only forsee problems.. Unless someone can tell me if this will effect my current windows installation (e.g: Will it overwrite everything i allready have documents etc..as if i was reinstalling XP? Or will it simply install in a seperate directory and dual boot?)

I guess you can only dual boot it if you install it in a separate drive.

XP 64bit is a "hassle" because it isn't really supported by everything. Vista, however, is meant to be run in 64bit mode, so if you have a 64bit processor, I say go for it. (I am, and I would also like to point out that I haven't tried XP 64 at all, so if someone knows more, please tell us).

I loose.

not true, you can have two OS in the same HDD... dunno if it works the same way with vista...
