The main issue is that the VM does not shut down cleanly. After a looong pause I have to press the red square to kill the VM. On the next launch of Vista I see "Windows did not shutdown properly" and have to click to capture the mouse and then press Enter to start Vista.

Vista RC1: hangs at shutdown...

With 1898 I have a basically working Vista RC1. It has the choppy audio problem that has been reported elsewhere.

The main issue is that the VM does not shut down cleanly. After a looong pause I have to press the red square to kill the VM.

Make sure you're selecting Shut Down under the triangle icon. If you click on the icon to the left of the padlock, you'll get exactly what you describe. BTDT:-)

I'm guessing sleeping the OS inside a VM doesn't work too well. Like others, I do have the audio problem. The sound is very choppy and never plays all the way through without breaking up.
