Some preliminary information there. I'm grabbing both the 32bit and 64bit versions now, and will install one of them later today.

The first publicly available version of Windows Vista will not be available until around December 2005. It will be called Vista Beta 2. Only MSDN subscribers and official beta testers are supposed to have it before then.

In any case anyone installing it before the official release next year is using it at there own risk. It is still an unfinished and buggy O/S. Alaphas and Betas are alright to play with but do not keeping anything important on those systems. You are subject to loseing data at any time. Also, some software and hardware are not supported. I learned that the hard way.

I like the Shadow Copy port and Calendar features. Shanghai!!! Alright!

More Superfetch rumors...I still don't get how that'll work.

It doesn't matter to me where you got it. I was just making the point that tecnically it will not be availble to the public for another two or three months. I know that despite Microsoft's wishes it is getting out to a lot of people besides the authorized ones. I could get it myself from a MSDN subscribtion but have no time to play with it now. I do plan to install it when it reaches the release candidate stage in preparation for a review.
