Default Is anyone here testing Windows Vista?

I know this is off-topic but I was just wondering if anyone was testing
Windows Vista on their computer(s). If so then what do you think of
Windows new operating system and will it convince users to upgrade from
98SE. Finally, do you feel it is a secure operating system or does it
still need much work. I hope to test Windows Vista when the RC1 becomes
available now to the general public that it is much more stable.

I subscribed to the Vista general newsgroup but I highly value this
group's opinions because there are a number of smart people in this
group that can sometimes be harder to find in the other Microsoft groups.

MVP beta testers (and maybe all testers) are covered by a non-disclosure
agreement.

Thanks for pointing that out Ron. I did not know that.

I installed Beta 2 a couple of months ago and it sucked big time.
I gave it another shot here a couple days ago and it's been improved
considerably. I have an almost new motherboard but neither Vista nor the
motherboard manufacturer has drivers for the sound. Also, my HP Scanjet
5470 won't work with it or will my Dell 720 photoprinter. I imagine
sooner or later the hardware manufacturers will come through with
updates for all this stuff. I don't like the way Windows Explorer works
although they have improved it since two months ago. When I first
installed it I was running a Pentium 4 2.4Ghz processor. It was slower
than the Second Coming. Now I have a 3.2 dual core and it runs
reasonably well, although still not as fast as my XP does. I've been
opposed to every new operating system Microsoft has come out with, but
sooner or later I learn to accept it. I'll probably be dead before
there's another one.


Thanks for your feedback. I look forward to the chance to test Vista.
