I used the Beta for a month or so (that was a few months ago) on my then system (AMD Athlon64). The OS was super stable with no major bugs. That said, the last build I used still had many new features disables (notably Aero).

Anyhow overall I was happy with it, the new way your data is organised is nice, plus it looks good (almost as nice as OSX, almost).

BTW, for gamers, note that DX9 execution is slower than on XP because it is not native, combined that with so-so initial hardware drivers, current gaming is actually slower. It should improve as drivers do and DX10 comes into play.

Anyhow, I just bought Vista Home Premium yesterday but I haven't installed it yet. I'll let you guys now how stable it is in the next few days.
