I've got some images of the install I performed on my PC...

dsc020226cm.th.jpg dsc020236fg.th.jpg dsc020241qm.th.jpg dsc020256gg.th.jpg dsc020263zk.th.jpg dsc020270ly.th.jpg dsc020285od.th.jpg dsc020290st.th.jpg dsc020309oi.th.jpg dsc020313gb.th.jpg dsc020320tk.th.jpg dsc020337mr.th.jpg dsc020348wb.th.jpg dsc020353ug.th.jpg dsc020362ps.th.jpg dsc020371cj.th.jpg dsc020384cy.th.jpg dsc020393kq.th.jpg dsc020406sc.th.jpg

It's easy and it took about 45 minutes to complete!

I just had to install some NIC drivers as Vista didn't detect my Netgear FA311 ...So I had to go on the Laptop and transfer them across via USB floppy drive.

Then BOOOM! 20 seconds later they were installed and I'm on the NET! ...and have access to my network, there's more options in Network Centre as it's Now known.

Forget your Documents and Settings it's gone! We Now have C:\Users\Chris etc

No I bombarded it with my application installs.

I think it's actually positive that it can't access the hosts file...shows Vista is preventing access.

EDIT: Check my topic on CT alan has the same file....

Well done Chris :)

How are you liking it?

Was reading through the post. Well. I have had Vista for about a month now, just siting on the HD since I don't have a DVD burner. But I found a simulator, and installed VISTA last night. This morning, I got up, and configured everything ( Since I ran the DVD simulator, it seemed to take longer then some I have read {5 hours}). But since I have got evernthing going, VISTA is very well orginized. It will take a bit to get used to, from what I seen so far. Everything seems to be in tab simular to IE 7.0. Even in the START menu "My Computer" now name "Computer". However I have only been running it one day, and most of that has been doing the updates.. :rolleyes: It does have it's bugs, I see quite a few with software combat's. But most software I have ran, works the same as XP. The only thing I question about Microsoft is, why the OneCare don't work With VISTA. They say support is coming for VISTA, but DUHHHHH, you would think they would have planned for this. Now Defender works with VISTA, ONLY if it is downloaded WITH VISTA. If you have it installed already, uninstall it prior to install. It will be installed. I know most are saying we are brave for intalling this Beta, but hay, I like a chalange, and I am a racer, so I take challanges..:) LOL

Really interesting.

Like Boris, it will be some time before I have Vista - We'll all need a refresher course then. :rolleyes:

Looking forward to it though - :)

edit although it said the images had been scaled down to fit my screen - they wouldn't open? :(
