Windows Vista - Not So Bad?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the needs-some-salt dept.

Shantyman writes "ZDNet has a counterpoint to the negative impressions of Vista's Beta 2 going around. Entitled Vista Beta 2, up close and personal, Ed Bott writes: 'I've spent the last three months running beta versions of Windows Vista on the PCs I use for everyday work. February and March were exasperating. April's release was noticeably better, and the Beta 2 preview - Build 5381, released to testers in early May - has been running flawlessly on my notebook for nearly three weeks.'"

    That link is a 'torrent'. You might want more details from here first; but then again, you might just want to go for it ...
