Vista Beta 2 News RoundUp - [briefly]

Vista Beta 2 - Most popular download in history? - According to a news conference with Microsoft and the Featured Community websites, Windows Vista Beta 2 is the "biggest software download event in history" since it was released to the public as part of the Customer Preview Program on Wednesday. Microsoft claims to be hitting the "ceilings on bandwidth" of the Internet. "Right now we are serving out product keys 10x faster than we can serve the downloads." Microsoft is concerned that if they increase their bandwidth further that it will have a measurable impact on the rest of the internet and there is a "good possibility" of affecting other events such as World Cup online viewing. (thanks XXXX)
BitTorrent, Meet VistaTorrent - While Microsoft didn't want the product on BitTorrent because it wouldn't be able to control/monitor the feedback as easily, a couple of enterprising Windows testers have created VistaTorrent (site) to help bottlenecked wannabe testers.
Is Vista Heading for a Flash Nightmare? - Windows Vista is getting not one, but two, new flash-based memory infusions: ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive. But eWEEK columnist and storage aficionado David Morgenstern has some qualms about how well either ReadyBoost or ReadyDrive will work in practice, rather just than in theory. Are the Ready Twins really ready for the enterprise?
Vista beta 2 won't run SLI - At this time Vista beta 2 simply doesn''t work with Nvidia dual card configuration. Vista is early 2007, if we lucky, so Nvidia and ATI still have some time to polish it up. But, for the time being, if you use SLI machines and wants to give Vista a try either enable single display or disable the second card in control panel.
WinFS' Next Hurdle: Windows Live - WinFS, Microsoft's next-generation file-storage system, is still not at the Beta 2 stage. But the longer WinFS takes, the more complex the data-environment becomes that Microsoft is attempting to manage. As if it weren't bad enough to try to break down the data storage and retrieval silos across Windows, Office and SQL Server, now Windows Live is part of WinFS' target environment, too.
