mish I am a user of Vista Beta and then Vista RC1 - what plunger notes is correct.

I have a portable that I cannot bring back to life some folders even that I re-installed XP and removed Vista - they are still blocked. The design was done with very little strategic thinking.

The main issue is that they allocated two "programs" folders on for 32 bit and one for 64 this by itself makes a huge mess with lots of things and software which likes to install itself in the "programs" file and is 32 bit

Until the world does not convert to 64 bit upgrading to Vista is useless as all 32 bit programs rum slower than on a XP even after installing them correctly - the problems lies in the conversion layer from 32 bit to 64 bit and back.

Oh and almost forgot you need at least 1 Gig as Vista eats up over 700 Meg of memory, so best would be 1.5 Gig at a time that XP was fine with 500 Meg

So consumers are screwed as the best would be to reinstall XP and pay more money
