I'm no computer expert, but my experience of Vista has been faultless!

I downloaded the 32 bit version using the recommended Download Manager- it
worked faullessly.

I created a 100Gb partion on my existing XP 400 SATA Drive.I then burned the
ISO image to DVD using Nero 6 - it worked faultlessly.

From within XP I loaded up the Vista disc in my DVD drive, XP recognised it
and from within XP up came a setup screen. I didn't have to go into the
BIOS to tell the PC to boot from the Vista DVD . I selected INSTALL & told
Vista to install to this new partion, I then set back and watched the Mexico
v Iran World Cup match, because that is how long it took to install & set up
Vista. There was no error messages no crashes no freezes and my only
involvement was on the final reboot to select " earlier version of windows "
( XP ) or " Normal Windows".

I am now typing this vis the VISTA OS and it looks great!

My God too! I had a similar experience and was quite amazed as well. I really
like the look and feel. I do see typical beta issues now that it is installed
including several crashes of Explorer and problems with it being able to run
software I need. I can't run SQL Server 2005 and other development software,
so won't be using it on a daily basis for now, but I am impressed with this
beta so far.
 
I as well have been fairly impressed with my Vista Experience. Had to go to
Nvidia to get my 6600 GT Drivers and Had to go to Kx Project to get my audigy
drivers. But i would expect that with it beiing a new build and all. But
literally setup ran really smooth and the interface is pretty slick. There
are some beta issues that need to be dealt with asap (dual booting xp and
vista with NTFS shares on the drives from XP has been making my permissions
go crazy, Programs restarting). All in all not quite stable enough for me to
work on anything important on but its fun to look at and ill have alot of fun
digging in to the newest depths of .net framework for many nights to come
