Vista LB2 is kickin some ass lol. Graphically its much nicer, but I've yet to find features that justify paying for another new version of windows.
It rates my system a 3......
Heres the indiviual ratings
Ima play with it a bit more, and take some more SS's... but overall im not as pleased as I thought I would be.

how did the installation go, is it clear in how it sets a boot list so you can still boot into XP? stuff like that, lol too lazy to find out myself and fuck up
EDIT: oh and is that rating after a bit of benchmarking or something like a pre-made database of current hardware

Yea my whole point of that one pic is how fucked up the rating system is...
Its LB2 build 5384
And I didnt see anywhere to partition my 320GB sata for Vista (burned ot dvd, set boot priority to CD and then ran vista like that... apparently you can do it in windows). I never saw anwhere the option ot partition while installing vista and forgot all about it. Installed vista apparently over XP and lost the OS but could still back up the data from the XP files (moved them to a folder called windows.old)
So I low level formatted the 320GB sata and reinstalled XP, partitioning a 100GB chuck for vista and left 200GB for XP pro. Havent put vista back, but XP is finally back to where it should have been.
