So you are using the BETA as your primary OS?  Is it that stable?  What
version are you using.  I am a subscriber to MSDN and the MS corporate
preview program, so I have the latest distributed builds (aside from the
builds given to the actual BETA testers).  What build are you using? The
only box I would be willing to load a BETA OS on is my box at home, which is
also a gaming machine ( I am a Half-Life TFC fan :) I know it is not a
gaming system, but Dx7 is supposed to be included.  Have you tested any DX
compatibility?

   I'm going to buy one as soon as they have drivers for Windows 2000
Professional version operating system. My Jaz works fine with an Adaptec
PC card scsi device in Windows 2K, but the disks cost a fortune. I have
queried Castlewood to see what their progress is on Windows 2000
drivers. Their NT 4.0 driver may work, but I want assurances that I'll
have a working unit. I don't plan on going back to Windows 98....Windows
2000 is a really stable operating system, but you'll need a fast
machine. My Twinhead laptop at 128 MB of RAM and 300 Mhz is barebones
minimum in my opinion, but it beats the pants off Windows 98 for power
management among other advantages.
