    I am very keen on getting vista working on my W3J. I have tried installing Vista Beta 2 but the installation got stuck on a reboot loop and so I had to reinstall XP in order to get my machine working again.

    Is there a fix to this problem? Also has anybody got Vista working at all working on their W3J?

    I have not yet tried Vista RC1.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I managed to install RC1 on my W3J. But i could get the Power 4 Gear, Splendid hotkey to work. The volume mute button doesnt work for vista too. Even though it says muted, windows still make sounds.

    I put XP back on now but it did look amazing while i had it on.

    Oh another thing, you really need about 2gigs of ram to run it properly at decent speed.
