Hope you got some nice machines to run it on...it's pretty processor intensive...the install process, however, is a complete dream compared to previous versions...like 15 mins!

I've been trying out the new command shell (MSH) that coes with it...some very interesting features...they've added *NIX like command functionality, and merged it with .NET programming capabilities...kinda cool.

I downloaded it off MSDN and was going to install it for the hell of it. So, is it a complete waste of time? Not worth formatting a machine and spending the time?

stupid question: does the beta offer an upgrade from XP, or does it require a clean install?
