I'ma having a hard time trying to resist installing the beta on my main rig. Even as a parallel install, I'm just a tiny bit concerned that it'll somehow bugger my data up.

I can not get it to install. All I get is the message saying Install.wim is missing. Is there any way of solving this? I've downloaded and burn the file to DVD twice now and its still the same.
try using a usb to install it, saves on disks
i'm installing it on monday dual booting with seperate hdd, cant wait to try it out the difference from xp will be quite nice
i think its really funny how everyone instantly slated vista as a pile of crap, then now they're falling over themselves to get windows 7
Yeah, it's an installation bug, for some reason the installer can't see optical drives connected to SATA controllers in ACHI mode. That was my problem at least. I turned on PATA compatiblity for my DVD drive to work around it.
if you've got a large enough stick handy, try using USB stick as mentioned above!

it may have already been asked, but....
Is this finally going to be an OS worth upgrading from XP to?

No more than Vista is, it's still just a tweaked version of Vista, only with even more software compatibility issues.
really? i heard alot of good things about windows 7 than vista.
All Vista-hating hyperbole, I'm afraid.
its supposed to be more light weight isn't it?
or is this just a underhand way of remarketing Vista RC2?

It uses a little less RAM, but that'd be down to reducing superfetch's usefulness. So yeah, just mark that claim up to marketing. It still sucks up a crapload of HDD space, and it doesn't seem to want to completely idle much, not so good from a power usage point of view. That might change at release, but I wont hold my breath.
I'd disagree, this is from my q1 ultra.
Battery doing just fine!

Anyone know how i can stop WMP using 50% CPU every time it's loaded?
It used to just fire up by itself, even if the application didn't (the process) and killing it just failed. I managed to stop that by disabling the WMP network service but the application still hogs resources like no tomorrow. I've tried changing my network to public so it doesn't connect to other libraries - but the process doesn't quit when WMP does. Could be a codec issue, but i doubt it somehow.
1-2% CPU usage while doing nothing isn't idle at all, the OS is stopping the CPU from entering Cn states, that gobbles up battery time and stops the machine from reaching it's full potental battery life.
It's got to please me more than XP on practicality more than anything.
