Did you activate Vista? I've heard reports that MS is planning to disable certain features in Vista (including the aero thingie) until you activate your copy.

I don't actually have the beta but i read that vista turns of some features if you dont have something that it needs. On a Mac you can activate a similar effect by pushing a function button 9-12, not sure which one.

Yes you can. I actually figured out how to do it. Once you get the drivers for your card, right click on the destkop and click personalize (I hate how they changed everything). Then you want to go to themes and choose aero from there. It's as easy as that.
