It's invitation only, and I don't think they are bringing any new people into

That's good to know...I wasn't sure, as I've heard it both ways. But it's just
a backup machine so doesn't get a lot of stuff loaded onto

I just enabled Vista Dreamscapes on Vista Ultimate.
It is actually quite cool :)
It basically plays a full screen video on your desktop that somehow
takes up very little resources. Right now I have a video of a forest
waterfall. It's a novelty thing though, but I guess it can be quite
nice.

Yes, actually I did notice the file copying, because I have a Dual

I have not noticed any improvements on my computer. Boot up screen actually
seems like it takes a few seconds longer. Outside of that, not much, time
may tell. less than 24 hours isn't the best gage.

Interesting. It's still only one scenario (all other scenarios are so close as

I've used Vista Ultimate 64 bit since day one. I had 4 gigs of ram for
awhile and every game but ARMA worked. ARMA fails with just 4 gigs of ram
less then that and its fine. But other then that its very nice. Now i run 8

If you have VIsta, the Service Pack is almost a necessity. It improved
file copying in some cases by as much as 80%. This is, however, Still
slower than what the file copying speeds on Windows XP are.
This also includes all the fixes including all the graphics fixes for
Nvidia and ATI Cards under
Apparently you need a technet subscription. I did an Windows Update and
did not get the option to download. I think that I recall that they are
doing incremental releases for different flavors of Vista.
