I installed the Beta this morning. It was fast (35 minutes) and reasonably painless. It seems fairly fast on my older AMD Athlon 1.00 GHz processor with 1 GB memory. The network setup was confusing, but easy enough to do with a little perseverance. Some of the Help files don't yet work. A missing sound driver reported that it didn't install, but worked anyway. Like Vista, I haven't found any compelling advantage over XP, but it's early days yet. ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
