It seems drivers can be slightly hodgepodgy. My computer has all its devices working so far.

It should be noted: If you don't have a dedicated test computer for it, it is suggested that you wait for the final release. I would tend to agree with the suggestion.
Yeah, it's an off-brand laptop and beta release, so it doesn't surprise me that some of the drivers aren't there. But it doesn't even have sound.

I agree with Tsuj's opinion. I made a bad move by installing it on my family's computer, but Vista is safely installed on another part of the drive so if something goes awry I can boot to Vista again. I'm just thankful it works well on this box.

Yeah thats actually a good point. How does one go about setting it up so they can dual boot, choose which OS they wish to boot.

You'd want to find a Linux Live CD like SystemRescue CD to resize one's partition, then boot back up to Windows and create another partition using Disk Management (for 2000, XP, and Vista).

Heehee... That article is essentially what I said, Tsuj-kun. Lifehacker blog suggests using a Linux Live CD to resize the partition.

For XP, yeah, but it has instructions for using Vista's built in partition tool. I find it strange that XP doesn't have a partition tool, I know that the 3.1 and 9.x did...

XP's partition tool is the same thing as Vista's. It's part of Computer Management.
