I recentely downloaded windows vista evaluation version (build 5365) from a torrent site and here are my experinces (no screenies, you probs seen some anyway)

Good things:

Installation was a doddle
Nice theme (Aero)
IE 7 is good
WMP 11 is good (with good layout and theme)
VOICE RECOGNITION <- that is brill
Better games
Better and updated Accessories
Windows Sidebar
Baisically everything is updated

Bad things

Slow loading in windows explorer and never responded
Lots of non-responsative proccesses
Norton 2005 wouldnt work
Slow
Lots of bugs
Slow loading (even though it is meant to load super fast)


The MAIN thing i thought was good was the voice regognition. It is a program that listens to your voice commands and basically you can control your pc with it! Use it for typing and alsorts! Good for people who hate typing.

You can now save in .png and .gif formats in PAINT

Keep more organised in Windows Explorer (if it ever responds)



Well they are some of the features and i was quick to get it off because of the problems with Windows Explorer (WAY TO SLOW and NON RESPONSATIVE)
