It looks so pretty and runs so much quicker on my PC than vista. Theres a few things i still need to get used to but it's such an improvment. It's currently build 7000. which is how i've got it as i suppose its a big milestone for microsoft.

theres a few things missing but is hardly bloated like vista. i just hope when they do come to a stage of releasing it in shops that they don't cram it with tons of programs.

Can you switch the taskbar back to the old style? I don't like that it is really big.

Same here, nice change from XP is all I'll say...
They said this is most likely what the release candidate will be like, could be as good as it gets but we'll wait and see.

Theres some stuff which i'd have no use for. like the side bar from vista which i allways thought was pretty pointless. i've just noticed a little feature they've added. It's called snipping tool. which allowss you to drag a box around text and quickly turn it into an image. it's so more easier and quicker than using the Print Screen button and copying it into paint. :)

Ahh i didn't know. i use xp mostly. the current build is great though. IMO it's pretty much ready for release. It's a lot better than what vista was when they first released that...

IE would be a requirement, wouldn't it?
