Windows Vista Beta 2: Aftermath

Shortly after Microsoft released Vista Beta 2, the big hardware vendors released updated drivers for the general public to install on their test machines. NVidia has released nForce drivers (nForce 4 or greater) and Forceware drivers for their chipsets/video cards and ATI has just posted updated Catalyst drivers for their Radeon products.

Screenshot/video galleries are starting to hit the web as well:


If you missed the keynote addresses from this morning, Microsoft is providing on-demand access to them over here. Office 2007 Beta 2 can be downloaded using a nifty new software delivery manager over here. We've also got several staff members on the floor of WinHEC this year blogging live from the show. Our very own Creamhackered gave his preliminary rundown on Vista Beta 2 earlier today:


"Vista seems a little more responsive and stable from 5381. Nothing really different from that build but if you've been waiting to run Vista on your main machine then you may want to wait a little longer until RC0, as this release still isn't at the stage where you could rely on it every day, especially on a mid-range PC."
