    How do you get this? Do you have to sign up as a beta tester? What are the criteria?

    The criteria would be high speed internet access, newsgroups and a reader such as xnews or any one of the 100s of others that are out there.

    tada...!

    I have tried it and was not very impressed. People are going to be very upset with the performance of vista if they do not have a high end system. As of now, just like the 64 bit version of XP, some components such as sound do not work. it is at RC2 now, so lets hope the bugs get worked out but I may go all out Linux or stick with XP.

    I know Ubuntu is going to be installed over my vista RC1 instillation tomorrow.

    I would highly recommemend atleast 1gb of ram to run Vista. Microsoft publishes bare minimum requirements to get Vista installed/running.

    My system should get replaced soon because it is kinda slow with RC1 but I have 3 Visual Studio 2005 windows open, Photoshop, IM, 8 IE7 Tabs, etc. and it is kinda slow for me.
