Tell me that and let me know when the non beta one comes out

So why is this such a big deal? Microsoft betas aren’t something the general public needs to get fired up about or coaxed into installing. Unless of course you WANT them to have a bad experience with Vista in which case tricking people into installing beta quality updates is a great idea.

 

Notice almost none of the articles that announced this first mentioned it was a beta unless you actually read the entire article.

Loaded it up; seems to work fine but vista takes a little longer to boot now. Other than that I haven’t noticed any changes TBH.

50% is hard to believe. Are these the same people who said the original version of Vista gave them a “massive” drop in FPS?

well I don’t run a benchmark every time I game but I haven’t noticed anything. Unlike most people out there though, I actually keep my videocard drivers up to date so that might help.
