Well, personally I'd never put anything like that on my machine if it was still beta. Still, MS has some awsome programmers and I bet this works up to something cool.

They've been working pretty hard the last two years to straighten things out...It just got overlooked by the public because too many people were busy bashing instead of paying attention to the changing tides.

I heard about this, I heard they're gonna offer it free initially (possibly this beta is it) and then start charging people for it.

I love that Windows Validation BS that they try to get to go through. (Not that I have any thing to hide as I am all legit with Microsoft)
