[Beta]

So what will happen to the old hardware that was only supported by beta drivers for windows vista?

Such as the Nvidia 5200 and 5500....

Will the vista drivers still work?

If they want to sell windows 8, I would think they would make it compatable with as many machines as possibe. I would also agree that if you can run 7 well, you'll be able to run Windows 8.

I would think so. I believe 8 will just have some refinements over 7, with the ability to run well on different platforms (their real reason to make it). A Guy
