Remember - these are pre-release versions of Windows Vista and the 2007 Office System, so avoid using it on your primary machines and install at your own risk."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060608-VistaOffice.jpg" /><br /><br />This is still Beta, so I recommend setting up a separate partition for Vista, installing it on a secondary hard drive, or a computer separate from your primary system. Cautions aside, if you have an Xbox 360, you simply must install this beta. It comes with Windows Media Center, so even if you don't currently have an MCE box, you should be able to use the MCE functions on your Xbox 360. Can't wait to get home and try it out myself.
