What I am doing is using XP Pro for my production machine and learning Ubuntu on another that has a dual boot with XP Pro. since I installed this thing a couple of weeks ago, most of which appeared right after installing it. This means that they are working on it, just like nVidia is working on Vista drivers.

Delphi Vista for 2007 too?
First thing to know about this beta: Don't install it on a production machine, as this is still beta code and could crash hard, costing you valuable data. If you make the mistake of installing Vista as an upgrade to an existing XP installation, you won't be able to remove Vista and go back to XP.

UNBELIEVABLE! Have lost all my data--held hostage for $$$
True, the later along the series of test versions it is, the less likely you are to have problems, but installing anything other than a released version is foolhardy, unless you are someone who enjoys playing around with these things, and also has a spare, non-production machine to run it, and don't care if you

Why Ubuntu Sucks

More Vista annoyances
The production version of SP1 was released to manufacturing earlier this month and I've installed it on some of the machines at the office. While it doesn't fix the more egregious design flaws, it is worth the effort of installing it and I would recommend that you install it as soon as it's available.
