They (Microsoft) do not just email you out of the blue asking you to try
Vista. You signed up somewhere to get this notification. Therefore, you
showed a previous interest in trying Vista.
If you had read the warnings on the download page you are clearly instructed
<**NOT**> to install Vista beta on a production machine. You also do
<**NOT**> install Vista on a machine where you can NOT afford to possibly
lose "everything".
Now, when you are done feeling sorry for yourself, ask some questions about
how you may be able to recover from "your" errors.
If you do not desire to ask questions, happy unemployment!
