I put RC1 on my shuttle PC. With all the reboots, etc, it took longer to
install than to download.
Neither of my DVB-T tuners install due to driver problems. Hopefully the
manufacturers will release Vista compatible drivers before too long, because
there's no way I'm buying new hardware.
Commercial DVDs play but without sound, just a lot of crackling, although
DVDs I burn play fine.
Agent 4 doesn't work if I accept the default installation location. It seems
users aren't allowed to write to C:\Program Files any more. Agent works if I
install it to C:\Users\peter\Agent.
Since users aren't allowed to write to C:\Program Files any more much
software is going to fail. This is the price we pay for a shambolic
installation paradigm. Perhaps Microsoft could learn from Apple's
installation packet system with everything in one folder.
