I'm going to be getting this through my school's MSDN / my friend copying the ISO for me within the next few days;
any of you had any experience with it?
I'd love to hear all the wonders of the new version.

If you have ATI driver problems you might want to make sure your drivers are meant for the build you're using

As usual, M$ made life incompatible again, and ati/nvidia haven't yet had the chance to patch things up.

ATI has vista drivers actually. So does Nvidia I think.

Just curious, but how is it MS' fault that vendors haven't supplied drivers for their beta OS version?

Maybe because the DDK came a bit close (in time) to the release of beta 1
