I agree with you Travis, you made some important points I would like to
emphasize on some of those points.
Who is the Windows Vista BETA 2 for?
IT Professionals, Developers, Enthusiast, people who like to back up their
data and try out new things and don't have issues just in case something
goes wrong installing the software.
You can install Windows Vista in a dual boot configuration with Windows XP
and have not problems at all, but it is always important you back up any
important data before you install pre-release test software on your
computer. Windows Vista is still in an early stage of development and there
is always a risk system failure.
So the first thing you need to do is create a logical partition on which you
will install the operating system, I use Partition Magic. The minimum hard
disk space required is 11.3 GBs of free disk space. But if you plan on
testing the operating system thoroughly you might might want to make a
partition size of 20 GBs.
Setup is fairly easy, you can launch setup from within XP or boot off the
DVD, I recommend launching setup from within XP, type in your product key,
accept the EULA, click Custom and select the partition you created and
dedicated to Windows Vista. Setup will do the rest.
