There might have been a few 64bit machines there. So, it could be that the drivers are being developed there, first. Seems to me that almost no current PC will be able to run it, but, that might also be in the plan.

Good list of compatible Hardware & Software.
I think I had a problem coming to this site with IE 7 last week, but installed Fx, and got to read my replies. I'll be trying the links this weekend. Thank.
:mult:
EDIT: Nice Smilie!
Back on the dark side. No updates for drivers, yet. I'll leave it overnight and see if auto update finds anything.
Currently I am running Vista beta 2 build 5384 Eval edition
The only driver problem was for my XFI sound card, Creative had a beta driver for that which made Vista complain that it was slowing my system down
Any other drivers for my Nvidia chipset and video card were readily available
I think you got an old build of Vista, Check on MS site, they do offert Vista beta 2 as a download, Make sure you give them your email address so that they can send you a product key
Thats how I did it
So far Vista is looking good, I just turn all the security stuff off ;)
I'm running 5308. I think they were demoing 5384 when I got it.
I can't believe that there isn't some kind of upgrade. Does that mean that I have to format and install again?
Also, where did you turn off the security prompts? I like them when I'm missing stuff, but I'd like to turn it off in the future.
I just kind of probed around and found where to turn some stuff off, I did use the control panel for some items
I would have to boot to my Vista drive to be more exact
I wonder if you were to download Vista beta 2 and toss it in while running your earlier build, If it would give you the option to upgrade, Hard to tell with a beta OS, It may mean backing up and formatting to install the latest build
At least MS has fixed their slow format, Reminds me of Linux
Someone should post a link to download it. I'm trying to decide it I should download and burn a DVD of data, or just download it to the old Vista and try to get some kind of app working that will open an iso file.
Swapped in Vista, booted, and the system hung. Couldn't get anywhere. Started hearing grinding sounds from the HD, and it'd freeze up.
Switched back, and had a problem. Had to go into setup first. After 2 boots, it finally came back. I don't know, but it sounds like the 20g drive died.
I decided to use the Download Manager to download the new version, and burn to a DVD on the other computer. I'll try the old 20g drive again, to see if I can resurrect it, otherwise, I may try an upgrade to the 60g drive that I ghosted to the current 80g drive.
30% complete. Going to be a long night...
EDIT: 5 hours later, Complete. Now have to share and try to burn from a network drive...
By the sounds of it, that 20 gig drive is on it's way out , I had a noisy IBM travelstar drive that I replaced with a Seagate momentus in my old laptop, When I decided to trade in this laptop with the old drive I found that the old drive would not detect in the bios, Yes this drive was noisey
The darn thing went bad sitting in the drawer
I would try one of your newer drives for a Vista install , I have a 7200 rpm drive in my newest notebook and the thing boots faster than my desktop
Latest problem: 2K3 Server won't burn an ISO using Nero onto a DVD. The BURN button doesn't light up. I thought that I had it working a month ago, but, it isn't now.
I might have to uninstall and reinstall Nero. Not sure, though.
I'm going to check back to see what they recommend. I've used Burn4Free to put an ISO on a CD, so I wonder if that might work.
EDIT: w00t! B4Free had an upgrade, and that appears to be working! 1/3 burned so far!
