    running vista on my laptop! screenshot



    very happy with it! everything works :D and it runs real fast. not one error so far the only problem is small, vlc media player doesnt support windows aero, so when you load it it doesnt get a nice glass frame which blurs the background. but im sure things like that are just little niggles that will be fixed in the release or SP.

    you can see my version in the bottom right corner.

    it runs cs2, dw8, vegas, flashfxp, firefox, trillian, putty, and a few other things needed to run my biz - all flawlessly.

    check it out :D theres been another release since rc1 (supposedly final before it hits the shelves)

    previous releases were awful from what ive read/heard, but i see no probs with this

                              Hasn't happened yet in any previous versions so I wouldn't hold my breath.

It only slows down stuff and you know youll be a guinea pig for the first few months with all the security issues....

                                                                                                                                                                                  Im going to try 5728. I had 5600 or something, and it would load up and do the knight rider thing after it was all installed, then went to a black screen. Not sure if it doesnt support my card, or dvi connection or what. Was kind of weird. Well will be dl'ed in 40 mins or so. Thanks for the link to 5728
