Yep, and its working very well.

I am doing the following tasks :

using Windows Mail

developing with vs2005
using WinFX (WCP and WPF)
writing a smart client app with the above

Using office 12 beta 1

Office is the least stable, but that BETA on BETA so I would expect this, I
don't write many docs so its not an issue.

It runs fast enough, but I have got a meaty lappy which was bought just to
install vista on.

Back and forth, simply because of Internet issues on Vista in IE 7.

I'm full-time right now, but it's defiantly not ready for prime time.

No way I may have hardware that's too old (I'm running Vista on my older
system), but some features don't work twice in a session (such as opening
Windows Explorer), and unless I'm having memory problems (not my computer's
memory!) some regional settings don't appear to stick.

Yes indeedy.

I don't seem to be having any major performance nags (although I know from
experience there's always ways to improve) but there's little things which
need cleaning up, as there ever are with beta software. It is however a LOT
better than the December CTP which refused to install at all. =P
