    I've played around with the vista beta and enjoyed it, I happened to miss most of the bugs so often mentioned, but you know there will be hell raised over this. Most people don't like to be forced to update, look at how many didn't until at least SP1 in XP from 2000. I'm personally all for it, I'm migrating from xp x64, so to go from one scarce driver to another is no biggie.

    The Sound Blaster Audigy software is not an option anymore... I guess there are some compatibility issues. Maybe people that ordered it can request a $25 credit?????
