I got fed up with the pre-loaded software/utilities/crap on the new Toshiba laptop given to me by my new employer, so I decided to reload it using the Windows Vista Beta 2 (Ultimate Edition). After only a few days, so far so good. I haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet; I'm hoping that general experience through day-to-day activities will give me a good sense of the new OS. Fortunately (knock on wood) no major failures yet; so far it's pretty stable.

Stay tuned for more on Vista....
