Is this build only suited to upgrade over XP or is it to do a clean install too flawlessly? The reason that I ask is I have Windows Vista 5381 installed (I did a fresh install), it installed fine, but it doesn't give the Aero effects, and my graphics card supports the glass effects and everything.

Hi guys, i'm not quite sure if this is the right topic but since you're talking about build 5381 and problems related to it, my experience from the past week using this new build is simple.
First of all, instalation is a lot better no point in that.
No major problems that can't be workaround in program instalations.
But i've been getting frequently the Blue Screen Of Death. At first i tought it was because of the graphics card (Asus X600 XT PCIeX) so i've downloaded directly from ASUS the drivers available spcecificly for this build but o've came to realise that the problem maintained so, my question is if anyone else got this problem.
I'll start a clean instalation tomorrow and i'll try to see if the problem is in the compatibility of Installed Software.
I've installed under Vista 5381 the following:
- Firefox
- D-Tools 3.02
- Office 12 Beta 1
- Visual Studio 2005
- Winamp
- Windows Live Messenger
Other then this, the instalation is absolutly clean.
Thanks
