I look forward to trying Longhorn. I like Vista, but as with XP the client version of the OS is useless in the long run. I need the extra admin tools, I like that most services are disabled by default and there's just much less noise! Even the installation is usually simpler.

As for the caching: Does this involve "Sync center"? I spent quite some time figuring out that I had to open "Offline Files" in Control Panel to get rid of the folder that Vista suddenly decided to sync! :( Not very intuitive.

Hello from Longhorn beta 3. :)

Working great, well besides taking an hour to figure out how to get online because wireless is broke in this build, out of box anyways for more than a few adapters. :(

Heck even got a blue screen within the first five mins of using it due to a bad driver install. :( Yes my wireless driver. The Linksys WMP54GSv1.1_20050428 driver in case your wondering. After the blue screen longhorn beta 3 would no longer boot up. :( Had to use "restore latest known working config". But at least I finally figured it out and back online. Heck even my sound works with latest creative drivers.

My geforce 8800 with the latest nvidia drivers is working fine as well. :) Lucking good, besides the wireless issue. Hope thats fixed in the next build. Will but it on over at connect in a bit. :)
