    I finally have completed installing the actual release of Vista... not the beta. IT is a heck of a lot more stable. Can't wait to try everything out... Any one else have it?

    I think the official release date for everything besides Enterprise Edition is Jan 30, 2007.

    It comes with an install feature where you can keep all of your files. Think you still have to reinstall all your programs though.

    You will have to reinstall your old programs. When you install Vista over your current OS, it automatically creates a folder called Windows.old where you can acess all your old files.

    I have no problems running any of my programs. When I was using the beta, I had issues left and right with drivers and programs, but so far the only one that has given me a hassle has been Limewire. The only thing wrong with it is that it's not compatible with the Vista Aero, so Vista automatically changes the display settings to Vista Classic.

    I already have it, but I only have to burn it to a CD and Install, I'll do some later as there are a lot of drivers which won't work with vista...

    got the RTM a while ago now, much faster than XP on certain tasks such as photoshop imo

    The only official drivers that haven't come out are nVidia's (the ones now are perfect but no overclocking yet) and creative (just the software not actual sound)

    what score did you get? I got 5.3, and thatw as down to the HDD, highest is 5.9 and that's graphics, but the thing is i haven't seen a higher score, anyone with a 6???

    *btw how comes you have enterprise?
