Better then enemy you know. I have got the x86 edition already and downloading the x64 edition as we speak. It should be fun to try out.

Free labour?

Besides it gives you more time to prepare security for the security loopholes in it (well time to find them atleast)

The keys will expire after one year, so you won't be able to use them after that date. Forcing you to buy Vista of course.

I'm looking forward to my copy to test, if its better than XP then I can't see mainstream desktop linux in the next 5 years, if it isn't then i think people will look to linux for more. Some of the help functions look pretty cool.

I've got the x86 version running, feels...sluggish. I didn't think about trying out the x64 version, but I don't see a reason why not. TBH I have never run an x64 OS...despite having a 64-bit processor.

Weird...I know...Should be fun.

Any chance of some specs for the comments? I know vista isn't really intended to be an upgrade OS, but it would be interesting to see how it fairs on older kit.

I wonder what kind ow dual core optimization they include in vista?

Just a guess:

None, and I wouldn't be supprised if I am correct.
