Perhaps you hadn't heard but when MS have software in the Alpha state they put a virus in it. So that if anyone gets their hands on it, without the proper authority / code the virus is activated. Normally what this does is contaminate the boot sector of your hard drive. Long story short the hard drive is goosed. The beauty, from their point of view is that you can't complain. I am not aware of the situation with Longhorn, but I don't want to find out.
This is removed in the first Beta version, simply because it is sent out to users to test. That is why sensible people are only interested in the Beta version.
Like I said, if you want to farg with your computer carry on. A hard drive isn't that expensive nowadays.
Good Luck
