Yep I am a MSDN member too and have installed Vista + Office 2007 a couple of weeks ago. Works like a charm, the most streamlined version to date and I have seen them all. I have a rather basic system, Vista index is a mere 2.2 but I'm ready to switch from XP and MCE 2005 (after installing an extra Gig of RAM that is).

Funny thing ... My 2 boys are 11 and 13 ... took to Vista immediately, watching tv and installing gadgets after 10 minutes. They now think XP is antiquated :D

Therein lies a bug where after you do a specific action, it will change your Vista to MCE :)

Like Vista it has only been made available for business users ... I haven't had the chance to play with it too much yet but I am seeing it in action quite a bit. This company I work for is a Microsoft devotee so with the products droves of "consultants" and their Vista laptops take over ;) They all seem to like the updated interface, the new doco formats and collaboration possibilities.

I have installed few versions Pirated from those P2P, but honestly, if windows 2000 supported remote desktop I would have kept running it, all this crappy colorers and animations is ******** and I don't find any sense in this. also it's copying everything in Linux ... starting from windows XP ending with Vista, I guess this Vista is a deal between Microsoft and Intel to make ppl buy new PCs thinking that their PCs are slow.

I prefer Linux!! it runs smooth on any PC it has 3 pre-installed browsers and loads of other warez that you need slightly few stuff to add, you can get drivers from anywhere and it never crashes !!
