Anyone playing with Vista Beta?

So, has anyone taken the plunge and downloaded Vista Beta? I wish I had kept my old computer so I could have loaded it there. I'm just a little too chicken to load it on my primary! LOL

Yea, I've had it for about a month. Had some mic problems with it but other than that it's pretty cool. Takes alot of juice to run it though.

I put it on a test computer but don't use it. I just wanted to check out the new looks of it and make sure my software runs fine on it.

If you want to try it but dont want to screw up your PC, download Virtual PC from microsoft (it's free) and run it from in there, nil chance of screwing anything up this way

All ran perfect although I didn't spend a whole lot of time testing.

I;m afraid even to try installing it. I don't think my laptop is up to the task and so far I am pleased with XP. Don't think I'll test the new version too soon

I was thinking of installing a BETA version of a spare system but didn't have the guts.

How is the features on it in other words the improvements from XP. Is the calculator, paint, image view, etc different and have you tried out the movie maker in Vista? :
