I'm posting on Vista right now and I activated it. I give props to M$ for making this operating system the way it is. It is alot better than XP and it is faster too. However, it does eat alot more resources. On idle, 463MB out of 1024MB is being used.

I was just wondering, could you use your Vista Beta key for this? no right?

No, the key is totally different.

I'm wondering something too. How much more work would it take for M$ to make the install modular? Like, you can pick and choose what is installed and what isn't. I just turned off the Windows Sidebar and all that other garbage. I don't use it in Linux where they got it from, so why should I use ithere?

wait, so the key doesnt work? This is the first release that has a diff key if so. All rest used same key.

So hold up. We get to be the gunney pigs helping microcow troubleshoot the buggy beta that at time was literally horrible. And NOW they get it "solid" we dont get a test drive. Jump off a bridge Microsoft you suck. Im not testing anymore of their crap.Ive been beta testing for 6 years and well........this has to be most horrible run and executed beta pogram Ive seen yet. They must be taking lessons from EA!

Yeah on first install I was using ~512MB But one thing I hate is my laptop screen is capable of 1440x900 but when ever i set it to that it goes back to 1024x768. I tried this is CCC, Forcing it in CC and in personalization I'm kinda irritated because t looks so crappy but it runs a lot smother now beucsae when I was testing I only had 512MB ram.
