succesful install setup

I was lucky I guess, I was able to download the vista and install it w/o any trouble. I downloaded for about an hour, burned to dvd for about 15 minutes, installed about an hour last night and voila! It worked! I did a clean install by the way. Only thing is it didn't find the driver software for some of my hardwares (quite few actually so I'm happy). I'm surprise they didn't have drivers for HP printers.
Anyway, I'm off to learning what's new and good about this vista. I hope I don't run into any trouble. Wish me luck.
I hope I don't get in trouble by saying this, it looks exaclty like the current MAC OS X!!!
Mac - Gidge = Vista - Gadget Mac - Dashboard = Vista - Sidebar Mac - Spotlight = Vista - Instant Search
and etc... hmmmm..... I still like windows though ;-)

Had about the same experience as well, once I finally downloaded an uncorrupted iso that is. runs stable on my system office 2007 running as well as boinc. Played everquest 2 in a window for about 2 hrs last night seemed to have about the same performance as my other system, only with a gig less ram.

I cannot get past the Launcher. I get to "Downloading _aunchpad.exe" and the status bar quits moving and the program dies. I have turned off the firewall and I cannot run it.
Any suggestions to get EQ2 to actually run under Vista? This is build 5536. It used to work before I did a fresh install with this Pre-RC1 build HELP!
