Title says it all really. I have the opportunity to get a copy. I just wondered whether anyone had experience of it?

Much the same as XP look and feel but with even more bloody shortcut bars.

Loads of the file system is SQL based and XML is fairly pervasive.

Other than that its just another plain old operating system.

From what i've seen of it, it looks rather nice. ok so all the linux and dos snobs won't like it. It sould make it a little easier to use for mere mortals though.
All betas at the moment though. Names of Home and Professional will be changed though, jst to make it nice and simple.
