Yeah, triple booting... thats the way to go!

Come on guys... its not lke I am looing for the most phenomena thing there is... its just new. So why not play wih it? isnt that what techs are supposed to do??

I have always beta tested software (Office 2007 beta 2 is REALLY quite good). Sometimes they were good... sometimes they werent. I remember beta testing XP. That was a good experience... sure it had problems but they got worked out... for the most part and now look, XP is a pretty decent OS.

I'm glad you understood my sarcasm in that. :) I almost went back and edited the post figuring that someone may not have read it as intended.

I havent played with Vista at all yet so I am interested in it. A couple of my friends who do work for MS have already told me the good and the bad of it.

45 minutes of the download remaining...

I'll probably get flamed by the Microsoft haters and Linux fanbois on here for typing this, but I'm looking forward to Vista, primarily the ability to game in windowed mode so I can keep an IM window open and game at the same time. Also, the future of PC gaming is in DX10 which is Vista only.

Good article on the subject: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1931945,00.asp
