I'm just wondering if anyone else has screwed around with the the 64 bit windows vista beta. I'm trying to giving it a try, but I cant seem to figure out how to set up a dual boot with it. Only thing I can figure is to externally locate my hard drives so i can switch them back and forth (I have 1 external sata2 conector on my computer)
I haven't played with it yet, but I just read that MS has completed development and turned it over to the manufacturers, with an anticipated retail release of January 30th.
I'm actually quite happy with xp right now, only reason I'm looking at vista is so i can run directx 10. the dirctx 10 vid cards are out, but they wont be semi affordable for some time yet.
I have a computer with power to spare, that is also highly upgradeable, so i'm not to concerned about the higher system requirements. I spent a few bucks on my mother board so I'd get the most upgradeablilty with it. I could spend over 10 grand plugging top notch stuff into it right now, but I just don't have that kind of cash.
Besides I intend to wait until i find a cracked version on share reactor. I haven't bough an os since windows 5x. and I'm not spending $300 on vista when it probably wont be compatible with half my old stuff.
