One of my friends is a beta tester- so he’s installing a copy for me to test in a few days. I’m jut wondering how compatible windows vista is with programs designed for XP- because i’d like to run the beta with all of my current apps.

Has anyone else got the beta happening on their machine? What is the install like when u upgrade from XP? Does it let you keep apps or do you needs to reinstall?

🙂 thanks guys
