I love how it's called "Pre-RC1." I call it beta.

Far, far better than the public Beta 2...think it'll be my main OS on my C2D machine when the parts get here.

Anyone know of a good, free firewall for Vista? Zonealarm won't install (freezes about mid-way).

Need something with out-bound program control...

I'm not sure if its in the betas, but that is supposed to be one of Vista's big security features.

I think the out-bound app control is only if you get their pay AV/security service :evil:

Either way, it's not in the beta.

And CDSpeed 4.60 reports "no cd drives" :evil:

Nah, thats part of the built in firewall. You don't need to pay for that.

Must not be in the beta's yet, then. Oh well...

Now if I could get lightscribe & CDSpeed to work, I'd be happy :)
