Viata + Third Party Apps

[[SKR]Phoenix]

Lo peeps!

I have finally got Vista Beta 2 downloaded and ready to go. I've checked whats compatible and I think almost everything in my system is. Before I take the plunge though, I hope you can answer some questions.

Has anyone got Soundstorm/nForce2 Audio working in surround sound? I have heard it works, just on the front speakers though. There's loads of drivers about and I am confused as to which works and which is best. nVMixer doesn't work from what I have heard, so how would O configure my audio properly?

How's general program compatability? I can live without a few apps until they are re-coded, but there are certain things that must work.

Does Office 2003 or XP work in Vista Beta 2?

Is CD Burning software working in Vista, mainly Nero?

Bit-torrent, any problems with that?

Do most XP drivers work in Vista?



Thanks!

Unfortunately all I can answer from your list is Office 2003...which workes great, and I would bet some money on XP working too, but can't promise though I'm afraid

Thanks, that's one of the important ones anyway.

Audio is bugging me though....suppose I can live without 5.1, but still, I do have it!

uTorrent works fine. And XP drivers seem fine (32bit versions)
