To Vista or Not to Vista
I can’t decide, should I download Vista or not? For anyone not aware, you can download the public beta preview now here.
My challenge is that this computer is my sole home computer. Still no test system up and running yet. Would hate to lose all the personal stuff if something unexpected happened. The other challenge is that I know I’d need to upgrade my graphics card to get the full effect of everything.
Anyone out there already downloaded the beta preview? What do you think? Should I risk it? Let me know. Always interested in hearing from you all and your experiences.

Jason: If you have the room to spare, partition your hard drive and test it that way. If you have any reservations (and you should) about running beta software on your primary system, dont.
Or try VMWare or Virtual PC to test Vista. It won’t give you the same performance but you will be able to safely experiment without puttin gyour core setup and data at risk.
