File Sharing Blog A staff member called Julian tested a range of P2P software in Windows Vista Beta 1, including well-known P2P software such as KaZaA, BitTorrent and LimeWire. The test results are quite unsatisfactory. About half of the P2P software and the Vista Beta 1 have serious GUI compatibility problems, while the other half have different degrees of (serious) network problems. In a word - no P2P software can be used in Vista Beta 1 Running normally.
seems, Windows Vista Beta 1, Beta degree is still very serious, I do not know whether the official version of Vista will continue to exist compatibility problems with existing P2P software.
