OK ... I have seen all the hype about Vista Beta 2 and have received the DVD
.... but I am hesitant to install it because I don't want to risk screwing up
my system! I am a retired home hobbyist (eg. enjoy writing .Net programs)
and I keep a good bit of personal information on the machine which if lost
would cause me some difficulty (I'm running XP SP2 and am pleased with its
stability). I have backed stuff up (to CD's and a remote storage site) but I
worry that if I install Vista everything will run fine for a couple fo weeks
and then BANG something untoward happens and I'm in trouble. I realize there
are lots of disclaimers with beta releases but is the general feeling that
Vista Beta 2 is safe to install?
I have seen very little in blogs and newsgroups about the realibility of
Vista Beta 2.
Thanks.
