WBHoenig Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 I have Vista 5536 installed on VirtualPC, but I can't really find time to test it! Do you think it would be smart at all to replace XP with 5536, and then upgrade to RC1 next week? I know I'm probable insane, just thought I'd ask B)
Biohead Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Well, since 5456, I've used Vista as my mainstream OS. But rather than upgrade, i backup all my files to DVDs and then do a nice clean install. Avoids issues in future.However, I'm forunate enough that Vista agrees with my hardware and it does work like a charm - it might be different for you though.
WBHoenig Posted September 2, 2006 Author Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) Beta 2 worked quite well on my hardware - it was slow, but in terms of drivers, more installed by default with Vista than XP. I was quite happily suprised.Also I will be dual-booting it with Ubuntu Linux. It's been my primary OS lately and I do anything critical (eg related to school) on it.I think I'm gonna give it a shot for a while Edited September 2, 2006 by WBHoenig
fizban2 Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Since RC1 has been released (5600) you probably just want to wait till sometime this week when it is released for the public again
WBHoenig Posted September 2, 2006 Author Posted September 2, 2006 I just installed 5536; it is quite stable (tons more than beta 2!). I hope they let you upgrade from here to 5600.
