Operating System Requirements for Sharepoint 2010

Which OS should i use to install Sharepoint 2010 in my Lab ?, this post from Microsoft Sharepoint  team blog clarify this issue especially for developers who ask about installing on windows 7 and vista

“We've seen some confusion in the newsgroups and elsewhere on the versions and editions of Windows that SharePoint 2010 will run on. This post is meant to clarify some of the most common questions we have seen.

SharePoint 2010 will support only 64-bit (x64) versions of Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2.  SharePoint will not install at all on 32 bit Windows, or any earlier version of Windows  such as Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003.

SharePoint is not supported on 'Server Core' installations of Windows Server 2008 and R2. The Server Core installations of Windows server do not contain some of the components required for SharePoint to be configured or run.

To make developing for SharePoint 2010 easier, it is possible to install SharePoint on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista SP2  and Windows 7. Note that running production environments on these OSes are not supported and it will not be possible to upgrade deployments running on client versions of Windows to future versions of SharePoint.  Instructions on installing SharePoint 2010 on client versions of Windows are a bit more involved and we recommend reading the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869(office.14).aspx.

Sharepoint 2010 Javascript errors

After installing Sharepoint 2010 beta on my box, I got javascript errors on page load and many UI functions are not working correctly;
Sample of javascript errors:
 
 
Error: 'SP.Res.autocompleteLoading' is null or not an object
or
Error: 'SP.Res.lcid' is null or not an object
 
Also this errors appears in the centra administration site,
 
The Solution:
well after searching and troubleshooting I figured out that there is a virtual directory "/_vti_bin/sts" has assigned an application pool "SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool" that is not existing on my computer after fixing this problem and assigning another valid application pool the problem is solved and everything is functioning as it supposed to.
