So what apps have people got to run on Vista Beta2. Please specify whether you're running the x86 or the x64, how stable the app has been and whether you had to do any workarounds to get it running.

Personally I haven't gotten around to installing to much, but so far have had the following experiences:
  • Trillian 3.01 - ran fine after install, crashed/freezes Vista after reboot
    Office Beta 2 - runs pretty stable so far
    CA EZtrust AV 1yr trial for Vista - no problems so far
    Picasa2 - Google pack installer didn't work, but individual app install has been running fine for 2 days

On 32-bit Vista with Aero Glass enabled, I've been runnning:

Office 2007 Beta 2 - Stable, but I've had some issues with Outlook not pulling in all of my old GMail messages via POP3.
Firefox 1.5.0.4 - Runs fine.
iTunes 6 - Seems to run okay, but I haven't tried syncing my iPod. The app works with Aero Glass, but there are some display glitches.

Hardware: P4 550 3.4Ghz, 1GB PC4200 dual channel DDR2, 120GB Seagate HD, X300 graphics card, Dell 2005FPW.

ABC - Works well.
ATI Display Drivers - Works well, but AIW support not there!
DU Meter 3.07 - Works well.
Logitech g15 keyboard - Basic keyboard and lcd work. No volume bar on lcd, no media functions.
PeerGuardian 2 Beta 6b - Installs fine, but I think it's having a conflict with Windows Firewall.
Warcraft III TFT = Works, but no gamma and no sound.
