Windows Vista Ultimate

[Colemont]

I am posting on my Toshiba laptop from Windows Vista Ultimate. I needed to do a reformat on my WinXp Pro anyways, so I backed it all up, deleted partition, created 2 partition's, and so on. Overall, it seems to run good, my specs are Celeron M 1.6ghz, 448 ram(after video), 80gb HD. IMO it is really just eye candy to me, something new to look at. I was hoping for a complete revamp. Everything of course does look different, don't get me wrong, but what exactly is different in Windows Vista Ultimate from WinXp Pro w/sp2? I have it on a dvd as a bootable dvd - if you want a copy and live in the Dallas area, PM me and we can get you rolling.

There's a lot more there than you think: Features New to Vista

Why not just show them where to download it direct from Microsoft (for a limited time only).

No, he probably has the latest build (5536) running.

It was stated as soon as the beta was released for the customer preview program, that the version was Vista Ultimate...

I can't remember exactly on the site it stated, but it is there, in "black & white"..

Is it safe to run this as my main O/S checking email, doing banking, things of that nature?

If it was ready for that it would be released. I think it's probably safe enough but not stable enough.
