Re: Are Vista betas successfull on Macs?
The Upgrade Advisor is itself beta.
Yes, drivers are a problem. Apple will need to do Mac drivers for Vista as
they have already done for XP SP2.
I have a MacBook Pro and strongly recommend against using BootCamp to
install Vista until after Leopard releases. BootCamp and the Mac drivers
for XP are all beta as well.
There will not be a Beta 3. There will be an RC1 in about a month. Rtm is
in four months and General Public Availability is in six.
