ok I got a new drive today, installed vista, well tried!
the rc1 install won't install on a fresh drive, it wanted to install on an existing windows installation! ok lets do just that. Now after it upgrades my xp ( on a new drive ) there are no drivers for anything! nothing runs, it's slow as sin ( 64 bit on CORE! ) screw it! no vista for me!
I installed linux over that drive, so much happier! it actually works!
