Running Vista AKA Longhorn Beta 2

[lcruz64]

Just installed this last night, not all features are functional yet but it's pretty nice. It's got Media Center and Tablet PC built in to the same OS so I like that but don't think they'll make like that when it's finally available.

Yes, I am sick of my computer running so well. Time to run a BETA OS on it!!

I have been running this on my desktop since about october. I got the new build about last week, Vista with Media Center built in, its pretty steady has some incredible features, cant wait till full beta 2 comes out!!

Vista is a haugpaug of so many other OS's combined with its own flare. I have really enjoyed using it. Check out my blog @ www.longhornblogs.com

i ran the november build of the system, its pretty good, suprisingly stable once u get the drivers in... but according to microsoft, isnt every thing pre-beta 2, beta 2 isnt supposed to be release till febuary, was supposed to be november, but they pushed it back to feb... overall though, i like it alot better than xp...
