Better beta?

After serious consideration (oh, and Dan telling me that I should do it), I've opted to go with Blogger Beta. So far the switch over has been a success, (if you are looking at this, then it works!) and it doesn't look like I've lost anything. I'll see how stable this one is, and if I don't experience any problems with it, then I might just stick to it rather than code my own blog.

Speaking of betas, I've managed to get the latest Beta build of Windows Vista from a Microsoft Technet seminar (thanks Graham!). Do I risk installing it on my desktop or laptop? It comes on 2 DVD's (one for x86 systems and the other for 64bit systems). I did have a copy of an early build quite some time ago (shortly after it had renamed from Longhorn to Vista), but it wasn't that stable and made my laptop almost unusable.
Hmmmmmm...

  1. Good move - I can save my credit and hassle you here once more! hehehe

    Not sure if you know, but you can host the Blogger files elsewhere you know - I used to host mine, but it slowed the page down a bit. It's in the settings somewhere, but dont think it's for Beta yet.

    As for Vista, Greg has been playing with it in Brunei, and Peter has been messing with it. Both complain that it's "Security Feature" is getting you to confirm Every Bloody Step Or Access To The Web. Everytime. It's like a school kid asking to go to the loo every three minutes.

    I'd backup the laptop and put it on there :)

  2. Very purdy :) Kudos.

    And yes, I saw the quote. Never remember what it's from, but always think of school lunchtimes!
