    Looks like it's gonna be an awesome OS. But for now, I'll stick with XP. I do however have a friend who may want this.

    My buddies have tested with it and they actually said its faster than a fresh install of XP. They are running benchmarks and comparing them. It also seems that memory usage has gone down CONSIDERABLY.

    from beta 1 yes. But still expect it to sap up at least 250mb ram.

    Yeah, I am downloading this now. It's gonna take a few days probably -.-

    What are you supposed to do to install it? Burn it to a CD?

    Where would I find a CD that will fit like a 3gb+ file on it?
