How do you guys enjoy the Windows Vista/Longhorn Beta 2? I've managed to obtain a copy, but haven't installed it yet. I was hoping there were some others out there with it.

Abstract: The general perception of Windows Vista is DRM-riddled eye-candied crippleware.
You have to remember that this will go on every computer Dell makes as soon as Vista is realeased. So they cant make it that system intensive. And you cant really judge performance from early beta releases.MRD said:Also, the minimum requirements are huge. One guy on this forum posted in the other thread that it crawled like a p2-350 on his athlon 64 w/ 2 gb.

fiji said:why all this whining about drm?
if you don't like it-- don't buy software that has drm
no one is forcing you to buy windows vista
also from past experiences, these encroaches on privacy are much overblown before the release
...if you are not pirating movies, music, software, et al what do you have to worry about? frankly all drm is doing is forcing accountability on people, and making computers more amicable to businesses such as online music downloads, movies, etc
