Tried out Vista Beta 2 Build 5219. Does NOT like it

I tried out Vista Beta 2 on my work machine. Really does not like it:

- Install WinFX "\WinFX Runtime Components - September CTP\Setup" does NOTHING to my installation. Not fancy UI on screen. Very disappointed.

- Still a lot of app does NOT work on Vista Beta 2, including Splash ID Desktop.

- VMWare 4.x.x has some problem running. This time not only I have to set Compability mode to WinXP, I also have to set run level (check the checkbox). And the damn network in VMWare is still failing. This makes it totally useless.

- Encountered not of "no priviledge" problem, which is stupidly strange because I logged in as ADMINISTATOR!!!

- Still not allow setting Outlook Express Storage file.

All in all. I hate this shit. Thank goodness I still have my WinXP to fall back to.
