Bring a book, watch an NCAA basketball game in the lobby and a buy a faster DVD drive on your way to the fair. It took 4+ hours to install on my 2 GHz Pentium M laptop. Most of that time was due installing a 2 GB file from my DVD drive. However, the install was stable. It upgraded my machine with no major problems. The worst thing that happened is that it didn't install ATI mobility video drivers, so I'm not getting all the cool DirectX Window effects that I should be getting and I can't play the new Solitaire. :( My laptop is like the Matrix bullet time, visually impressive but slow. Still, it's pretty good for a Beta... Experience w/ Vista – The install process was painfully slow.

I suspect it's much better now (at least I hope so)!

Would be really neat to hear some first (I'm sure it's ain't first for ya) impression from the product. Please? :) Ok, Robbie… no free Vista love for South Carolanians (well, legal aliens south carolanians ;) ) No feedback either.. is your laptop down after installation?

Had to go to bestbuy to get SATA PCI card and after I tried to install it I found out that I do not have SATA power connector :-/ Will get one tomorrow.
