I tried it a few months back. I don't remember the exact version, but I can say it was junk! Perhaps it's better now, but there were tons of bugs and it was quite slow.

I've heard from a few people it's not going to be a good OS... Good luck getting it to run worth a shit ;P

when i used it, it ran pretty damn good, lol

computerhakk · 12-08-2005, 05:49 AM

its good. depends on your hardware config.

is it at school? hopefully you guys have good pcs. most pcs at school are junk.

p8ntballsnyper · 12-08-2005, 05:07 PM

Yeah it ran pretty good, had some good changes. Of course it is going to be buggy, Its a beta, that is the reason they let people try it so they can fix all the bugs. All in all mine wasn't buggy and it looked to be a good OS.

Might be a good idea to wait for the first service pack to come out to patch up the more glaring problems before installing it. I'm gonna keep my xp until all those other poor suckers figure out the bugs so I don't have to, heh heh heh.

Somehow dont think the first service pack will be released til a few months after Vista itself is release, which isnt til 2007

suprasteve · 12-09-2005, 09:57 PM

yeah, that's what I mean, by the first service pack any big issues with the original release should be addressed, so I'm thinking of giving it a little time so those get patched without giving me headaches you know?
