Admittedly, we tested Vista Beta 2 on young, fresh hardware in comparison to what many people out in the real world could be using.

And you have to give them credit for going throught the trouble of publishing the complete documentation in a very nice PDF document. (The Ubuntu family looks promising too.

Another example is that I recently installed the lastest Vista beta, CTP build 5308 which came out Feb 2006. When running at the strictest security, it's extremely slow.

This is very easy to do, and you will have an Advanced screen in the Vista setup where you can select what partition you

I also tried running Borland C++ Builder 6. I am used to the fact that things are often not working in C++ builder, but on the Vista beta (build 5112) it doesn't even get to the splash screen. It was still working on 2003 SP1, so something it uses must have changed very recently.
