    no. 32 bit will just report that you have it. It will not necessarily be able to use it

    lol
    Chickening out a bit? ;)

    Nice they're adding EFI support.
    Shame they don't say anything about slipstreaming support.
    I remember before Vista launched, they went on about how amazingly easy it'd be to customize your Vista install (or integrate service packs)

    Then they launched, and it ended up much *less* flexible than what you can do under XP.
    Guess there still won't be an easy way to integrate the hundreds of updates they've released. So when you reinstall Vista, you have to download them all over from scratch...

    The beta is out right now if you want to give it a whirl. It's working well for me.

    Startup time for me is already 35 seconds (Prior to SP1). I hope SP1 cuts off more time for me....
