Just a quick post before I get back to chemistry

Recently, I've dabbled in new operating systems. I tried linux first. After trying to install 4 distributions and failing at different stages during each one, I decided to give the newest Vista Beta a shot. The install was much less painful than the XP install and went prettty smoothly, and this distribution featured SATA support, so I could actually use it.
Anywho, I finally got my wireless card working even though nobody makes a Vista driver for it, so I'm not sure how that happened. This is a damn pretty operating system. Not pretty enough to fork out several hundred dollars when it comes out, but still nice to look at. It makes XP look clunky and outdated (which fits, because it is).

Ok, so that's DEFINITELY prettier and more 3D than you made it seem on the phone. Fine, I approve.

Yeah, after we talked, there was kind of a "what does this button do? Oh, look at that" type moment.
Also, you can only make things look so pretty over the phone.
If anyone wants to give it a shot, I have a cd key good for installs on 10 computers. I was also able to keep XP, which is good since this is a beta afterall.
