i had it running in a vmware session on my acer. it was quite nice. the install has really been dumbed down for out not so savvy users...


not that XP install was hard in the first place. there really is no room for error present. the interface is a good deal like a mac, with all the extra widgets and such. it asks your permission for EVERYTHING though. click, click yes or no. sucks, but it learns your choices.

i like it. ill have a copy when it comes out. thank you AccessTCA for another free toy.

w/e... i still stay strong with windows 2000 (although i have xp on my 2nd HD for boot to use with photoshop)... i will agree that vista looks really cool from the beta pics tho...
