It's not overacting - last time this happened I lost the ability to stream video for two days. And the time before that, I lost it for a night. To make it worse if you then go and burn the media onto say a DVDRW you still cant view it directly on the 360 as the 360 wont play "mixed media" discs. Your only option then becomes to create a DVD formatted disc......

Within the Vista extender there is privacy settings users can set to not send info but regardless of those privacy settings logging into live is mandatory.

I pity those people on dialup or who are without internet connections. What are they supposed to do?

there are other things in vista also requiring an internet connection that wont require one when the final release is out.

I doubt they would require an XBL account for the final version...its just a percaution in the beta stages...

How many of you are still using Beta 2 of Vista compared to those using RC1?

Beta 2 wouldn't even work with non-US Xbox 360's !!!

Pre release candidate builds had the problem and it continues with RC1 and RC2. Build 5808 is a TAP only build and is not available to connect testers.
