I spent all day yesterday downloading the community beta of Windows Vista, only to get the royal Windows treatment.
After downloading Vista, and burning it to DVD I began installing it. The installation system is great. It is much better than anything Microsoft has done so far.
After having completed the installation, it informed me that it would have to restart my computer to complete. Upon restart it began to start Vista... then blue screened.
I tried every thing I could think of, but it kept crashing shortly after loading crcdisk.sys, and complained about some sort of internal error. I even tried reinstalling it, but that did not produce any different results.
I guess this is Microsoft's kind way of reminding us all that Vista is still Windows.
