RE: Windows Vista...



> I assume you guys are aware that Release Candidate 1 is out now?

I installed it last night, on an 18 month old Dell that has been blue
screening with XP Pro for the last few weeks.

When installing Vista the OS gave me a warning that the Hard drive was
"failing" and to pick another drive if possible.

I went on and installed the OS which worked great.  Now every half hour or
so it givs me a warning about the drive and recommends I start a backup.

This warning does not result in a BSOD or any other crash and the system
stay up (unlike XP) which I thought was a very impressive advance.
