The lads over at Bit-Tech have a preview into SP2 for Vista. If you're interested for some numbers and stuff, check it out...



... I found it interesting, especially the GFX tests.

I had it installed, but formatted because i could no longer see pictures (.jpg etc.) and ATi drivers failed to install, i was stuck on 8.6 for some reason.

But after a format, it's nice and speedy. Im never getting a WindowsBeta again.
