Quote from Mark D Vanderburg Vista Tips
Please read carefully

Being a newbie of admittedly severely limited mental capacity, but
always
wanting the latest things, I love any beta release of anything. Here
are
some tips that will help some people with their struggles to enjoy
Vista Beta
2.
1. It is a Beta. If it worked perfectly, had all the drivers you need,
and
so on and so forth, it wouldn’t be a Beta. The whole purpose of a Beta
is so
that a group of people can TEST the software and find the problems. So
when
you find a problem, that’s the whole point!
2. Search the forum and the internet for an answer or at least an
existing
dialogue of your particular issue BEFORE posting a question. Andre and
Zack
are extremely busy, answering redundant, redundant questions and
commenting
on our inability to read. If they only have to deal with the same
issue 300
times instead of 400 times, they will have more time to deal with your
issue,
the one that is more important than any other.
3. If your hardware, the “Unobtanium Does Everything” thing won’t
work, that
usually means that the Unobtanium Corporation hasn’t done their job to
help
you. First see item 2. Then go to Unobtanium’s support sites.
Microsoft
didn’t build the thing, and if they had the drivers, they would have
included
them in the Beta to start with. Either that, or Microsoft is out to
get you,
personally, and is doing this to you on purpose.
4. Will “Whizbang’s” software be compatible? Will it rain next Friday
at
2:46pm? Who knows? Try it, and if it works, great, if it doesn’t,
complain
to Whizbang. I never expected my Atari 2600 to run Coleco games, after
all…
5. For this Beta, Windows Vista, do yourself a favour and do a clean
install. Empty partitions are great for this. Don’t have one? See item
2.
Don’t know what a partition is? See item 2. Don’t know how to make a
new
partition? See item 2. Need software to make a partition? See item 2.
Too
inept or scared to try to make a new partition? Well, the world needs
grocery baggers too, I suppose. You’ll be so much farther ahead
without old
drivers and .dll’s cluttering up the install you will make your goofy
brother-in-law very jealous. The one with his dishwasher networked in
to his
toaster-oven with Wi-Fi.
6. Back-up everything. Twice. Then back that up. Then install. Don’t
upgrade.
7. Don’t like Vista? “C:\ FORMAT”. It’s the only way. You did back up
all
you stuff, right?
8. Buy the DVD instead of downloading. It’s less than $20.00. You have
enough in change between the couch and your car ashtray. First of all,
you
then have somebody to blame besides yourself if it doesn’t work.
Second of
all, there’s a rumour that it has “bloopers” at the end for your
enjoyment.
9. Just a thought, but if you lack the technical expertise to burn an
..iso
to a DVD successfully, what makes you think you can load SATA drivers
during
a botched install from a floppy you don’t have? And now you’ve
overwritten
some of your existing operating system because you tried to upgrade
instead
of doing a clean install. You did back up all your stuff, right?
10. If you find a bug, meaning something that doesn’t work, see item
1.
Then see item 2. Then report it to Microsoft. How? See item 2. Why? So
that Microsoft can address the issue, and so that you feel empowered,
instead
of like a thirty-something social miss-fit who still lives with his
mother.
Hope this helps!
