Some men live in seclusion and choose to live alone...
Some men live for justice and walk inside the law
But of these men, the group I'm in
are the men behind the wall...

I have it. Beta 2, that is. And I heard that RC1 was shipping on June 18, for those of us in the preview program.

It's decent. Very stable, and there are a ton of things you can install now that don't require a restart like in previous incarnations of Windows (even some hardware). Beta 2 has a bunch compatibility problems with hardware and software, tho, even when you run things in it's "compatibility mode". The two programs I've attempted to run in that, failed just the same as in normal mode, so I don't think that works quite right yet.

I think once it goes final, and companies start making drivers specifically for it, it will be one of the better upgrades; for most people, it is a completely new OS version, since it's based on Win2000 (v5.0) instead of Win9X (v4.0 - 4.2). It's just a shame they didn't keep the original Whistler UI in there somewhere!

I grabbed myself a copy of XP Beta 2 and it's great. I love the stylish new start menu and the fading and sliding transitions in the taskbar. Really really cool! Also, one thing i noticed is when i was installing it, it said that my Sound card would NOT work with it yet..it does.. Not that i'm complaining, it's just that they lied to me.. :rolleyes:
