    Why would you want a Vista Beta anyway, unless you have a spare computer which you won't mind reformatting when something goes wrong.

    I can't see any value in installing a system that as yet hasn't proven to be good enough to release to the general public :)

    It should be release first sometimes in the Spring as an Enterprise
    Community Technology Preview (CTP) to corporate accounts participating in its early Technology Adopter Program (TAP); to give them advance time to prepare for the new architectural change of this new O/S.

    Late Summer, it may be released to some chosen consumers.

    Ya I have MSDN subscription and threw it on. Pretty cool.. but not much driver support yet. Especially for x64 bit version. I can't get on the internet with it yet to update because I live in a Dorm at college and they require cisco clean access agent and since I don't have an antivirus, I don't get internet, and I don't get updates.

    It looks really smooth so far, opacity for window transitions which looks cool. Internet Explorer 7 looks like it got alot of ideas from mozilla like tabbed browsing and an integrated search bar.

    Looking foreward to getting a x64 virus protection as soon as I can afford it.

    Well if your planning on d/l music/games/movies then don't waste your money! Vista will make you pay for everything you download to make them work!
