I was walking by Michael Creasy's office late last week and noticed he was handling email on a Windows Vista machine. He said it was running pretty reliably, and could go about three days without needing a reboot. That's fairly good considering he wasn't running a build which had been vetted for public consumption like a Community Technology Preview -- just one of the latest builds, which can sometimes be a crapshoot.

So, I'm going to install it right now on my lifeblood Toshiba M200 Tablet PC -- the one I depend on daily. I run a ton of beta software on other machines at work, but keep this one 'sacred' running only released (non-beta) software so I can be assured of not being blocked from getting something done.

I'll admit, I'm a bit apprehensive about the impact this will have on my productivity.

What tipped the scales...?

I was on an email thread with a Microsoft VP the other day and his signature read 'Sent from Windows Vista CTP'. Seriously, if my bosses' bosses' bosses' bosses' boss can tough it out, so can (should) I.
