Approaching A New Vista

It's a red letter day for me.. After more than seven years with Microsoft, the company has at long last purchased a laptop for my business use.

Not only does this mean that my "personal" laptop will now be passed to my exceptionally patient spouse, it gives me a platform from which to test the new Vista OS.

I've installed Beta 2 on the new box (an HP nc8430) and am now in the process of loading the latest internal rollup release. Once I complete the installation and get my applications installed, I'll be ready to start sharing Vista related insights as well.

I'd be very interested in hearing from any of you who have already taken this plunge.. are there any tips you can share with those of us who are new to the product?
