I'm thinking of downlading it and giving it a try, but I first wanted to know of it's worth the trouble.
Anyone using it? If so, how is it?

Bloated, huge footprints, resource-sucking, invasive and generally a narcissistic version of XP.

It's great! Cool

Its very 'pretty', and appealing, but as Demo said, its bloated and resource hungry. If you want VISTA look at getting a new PC unless it was bought late this year.

Aw, demo, come on. I went and visited all those links. Most of the articles are old, one is just a picture of a monkey.

The only one that even talks about RC1 was the Cnet link, and basically said it was a "memory hog."

I want my 5 min back!

@ KoK: Sorry mate. I hadn't the inclination to dig deeper. I stand by what I said (I did stick to the safe and obvious), even if I linked to the dead.

@ Giant: Good to have you back. We had some interesting posts a while back where your imput was sorely needed and missed. Stick around!
