Vista Beta 2 build 5384 installs!

Well, the Vista Beta 2 build 5384 DVD just arrived in my MSDN shipment, and
I built a virtual machine with it. The installation went like clockwork, VM
additions installed fine, and it's up and running with no problems.

I started the install yesterday afternoon and got it up to where it was
installing files and then left it overnight to get through that phase. This
morning I completed the install process and was up and running within about
ten or fifteen minutes.

I gave it 1280MB of memory, on my 2GB machine, and it's slow but seems to
work fine. Maybe it's time to add the other 2GB to the machine.

You need to get a key for it from the MSDN subscriptions site. Use the
Windows Vista Ultimate Beta 2 key during installation.

Go for it.

Why? With the exception of sound, Vista works just fine as a VPC guest
now.

This is off-topic, but I think that Windows XP only sees 2 gig of your RAM,
so adding more RAM won't help you (unless you're running Win2003)

Not true. XP supports up to 4 GB of RAM.

Look under Available Connections for the Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 beta,
apply, and you will have access to the Vista adds as well.
