I would only recommend testing the SP2 beta if you have a separate 'test'
machine. Don't, under any circumstances, install it on the machine you use
every day. Beta software can be very 'buggy' and the last thing you want is
your machine to go down and you have to re-install Vista from scratch or
from an image. My advice is to leave the beta testing to the professional
testers.

John,

I agree totally with you. I have a machine set up, if I can get a copy of it
