In today's daily news podcast, we list five things you should know before installing Vista Beta 2. We also continue the saga of UBS PaineWebber, whose network is apparently still suffering four years after its logic bomb attack; report how the data theft at the Veterans Affairs agency is affecting not only past but also current members of the military; and try to decipher the jargon of wireless technology. Meanwhile, the Editor's Note muses about the current epidemic of long-term software betas.

Your host today is Barbara Krasnoff.
