| Do you have a copy of Vista? I certainly wouldn't put it on a production machine, one that is needed for work or browsing. Could leave you without a computer if things don't work right. Apparently there is not going to be a Release Candidate or Beta 2 version of Vista.
Oops, forgot to put in the link to Richie's post about Vista:

| Claims abound that Vista is much better than XP and more secure. Well, the same claims were made when XP arrived on the scene. XP is a heck of lot more stable than Win98 & ME, but how secure it is remains to be fixed! I personally will not be migrating to Vista any time soon. Also, many are in for a big surprise regarding the hardware requirements need to run Vista effectively.

| | I would argue that Vista is much more secure than XP. Microsoft has learned a lot in the last few years with all of the security related problems that the company had to deal with. As for running Vista on your primary machine, well, I am not doing that just yet. If the Feb CTP is good, I will. -Steve

Steve, I'll believe it when I see it. Do a search on google for Vista User Account Protection. That is one of the new security features. -Steve
