Released in early 2007. Wouldn't bother with a Beta personally as they're always buggy and shite without fail

Beta is just for developers to test and give feedback on, not for your main PC. Microsoft have had enough people download the Beta version now for testing. But I'm sure you can aquire it from the usual sources if you like...

But I wouldn't bother installing it now, not enoguh drivers support and be careful if on your new laptop, warranty is void is drive is formatted 
I installed it (longhorn also), formatted and installed win xp pro after only 2 hrs

it took me around 2- 2.5 hours to get Vista 32bit 
Its ok, like ed says its more for developers to get used to. I found it fairly good for programming on but there is quite a few bugs that need ironing out.

Dual core is more fun, you can assign tasks to the each core
