I just finished downloading the windows vista beta and im not sure if i should install it and risk my system.
Basicly what im asking is, is it reliable enough to rely on it to run my system?

I'm not even going to waste my time with this OS until a year after its been it, I know MS will release 10303274 service packs and patches within that time, so I will wait.

400MB RAM just to idle? That really seems like alot to me. I don't think I am going to bother with a new OS either until I get around to building a new computer.

Is there any catch? I mean there giving out a free operating system. Like after its released, are they going to make you pay for it?

The beta will probably expire on a certain date?

Let me just say that is probably the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time.
If you downloaded it, why wouldn't you take the extra step to actually install it? I know it's not a small file, so why?
Now you choose not to install it? What does you not planning to buy it have anything to do with trying the BETA? You test drive cars even though you're never going to get them, so what's the difference here? Besides the install and uninstall, but you could always find the BETA useful and continue to use it. It's not like you have to uninstall it 5 hours later...

I've had a copy of it for maybe 6 months and have not even begun to round up drivers for it. The more I looked into it, the less reason I found to install it. If I understand things correctly, the advantage to Vista is it's capability of utilizing up to a terabyte of ram. I think that is 16 megabytes, not sure. It's way more than I have.
If you do want to install it for a trial version. I would suggest partitioning your hard drive into 3 sections. Install your current OS first, then Vista second. Vista should recognize your current OS (not the other way around). Then you will have 2 working OS to select from on boot up. When Vista expires you will not be scrambling to get your PC in order.
