Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, Encore...Geezz nothing works for me....but other than that...The Eyecandy in Vista is great, Aero is Lovely, it all pretty...but thats all it can do for me right now, so I'll continue to wait till its perfected (yeah right)....
    This is why u can't use it as a main system .... it is beta software, i'm a tester, and with RC2 most things working fine.

    If I can't use it as a primary OS ...then it serves no purpose for me. Maybe thats why I am never a Beta Tester..I have no time to test software, productivity is always key for me......

    You must be missing the point of what RC2 means. Microsoft recommends you NOT to use this Operating system as your main OS until it is stable. Meaning it is out of beta phase and all the bugs have been worked out of the system.

    So if you're not into beta testing software, you shouldn't be downloading Vista RC2. Wait till it is stable enough then buy a copy and check it out yourself. Most vendors and software programmers would have drivers developed for vista by time Vista is released.

    I agree Arch_Angel a lot of folk seem to be downloading this as a main OS folk it is BETA!! DO NOT USE AS A MAIN OS!! if you want a preview of Vista create a partition of at least 40gb and load it on there. This is not a way to get a free OS ... it's going to expire next year anyway.

    You guys seem to be missing my point...I never did install this a my primary OS....why would I do that...I ran this RC1 Beta OS in VMWARE....ok geez.....I'm not stupid...I simply tested it to see if I could somehow use it as a primary OS...beta or not...what if I had no probs with it...then hey ..whats stopping me from using it as a primary OS....but unfortunately for me..it was too buggy...hence me dumping it...the virtual machine that vmware created..the rest is history.....dang...you to the point techies.....I aint giving up my XP so easily...that we I use VMWARE...
