|  Vista Beta 2 Experience So I downloaded Vista Beta 2 last night. The new installer was nice and surprisingly quick. I liked a few things about vista (the eye candy for instace) but overall I was unimpressed. I ended up uninstalling it 20 minutes later when it crashed....

| I wasn't real impressed either, which reinforces my decision to stay with XP for the time being.  | ||||||||||||||

 | So Windows Vista is just like Windows XP with even more visual crap people are gonna disable. That's what I said when the first builds got out, and people told me to shutup. Now that it's beta, everyone can see it. :P  If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you? | ||||||||||||||
