New Build Is Out 5308
In order to fit them all on one screen, I went to List, rather than Details. Every service up to Workstation (highlighted in the screenshot) is in a Started state.

New Build Is Out 5308
Haven't tried x64 yet. I'm running x86, as I was looking for maximum compatibility for now (installed x86 on a 4600 X2 without problems, however).

New Build Is Out 5308
Beware of some large images. Got raid working somehow in this build on an nVIDIA based controller, too. This might be my main OS for a bit (maintaining a WinXP install on a separate drive as well). Edit: Decided it was easier to just make a webpage out of it. http://server.counter-strike.net/files/vista.html

Raid support for nVIDIA Controllers on 5308
But in messing around last night, I kept getting the normal 'driver could not be installed' type of thing for my stripes. This morning, I booted up into Vista, and to my surprise, my 2 stripes were sitting there, happy to be accessed. And just so you don't think I'm pulling your leg: So, for those of you that have had problems since Beta 1 (I had NO problems getting my raids to show up in that build), give it a try now. I may actually use this OS for my primary for a bit, now that I have access to all my stuff.

Aero (default Vista theme)
Video card? If it's not a DX9 capable card, you won't see Glass. If it is, you need to install the LDDM drivers for the card.

Install question..
3 different systems (of which I timed the installs), and none of them took longer than 35 minutes, total. Not nearly as fast as my WinXP installs, but certainly not an hour and a half, or three hours.

Enable Windows Audio?
Mine works fine. Did you use the drivers that were on MSI's site for your onboard? (I presume that's what you're using).

Sound problems
If it's a self extracting EXE, try installing Winrar (the latest beta version), and extracting the contents via the right click menu.

installing SATA on VISTA?
You are not limited to 64bit drivers unless you're running the 64bit version. 32bit drivers for the 32bit version, 64bit drivers for the 64bit version.

Right Click on Desktop>Select Properties>Select Settings>Select Advanced. Under the General tab, you can change the size of your icons.

Virtual Folders
Try C:\Users\username\. I think you'll probably find your pictures there. As far as virtual folders are concerned, you might want to read up to understand better how they work.

Raid and Vista
Vista doesn't currently have raid capability (except for a single Intel chipset, apparently), as far as I know. I've been working diligently to find a workaround for nForce4 chipsets, but I simply think it's not available atm.

Turn off features
For the Windows Search engine, just shut off the service if you don't want it (you get a little less overhead by doing this, as it's not running the Indexing service at that point). Not sure about the other one, as I don't have that icon.

Disconcerning things about Vista?
Exact opposite of what's actually there, as is apparent just by running it.
