Got it last night.  Some notes:

If you're planning to try this our on a Virtual PC and, like me, need to
upgrade your image to XP SP2 FIRST upgrade Virtual PC to Service Pack 1.

There's a known issue in XP SP 2 (when used as the guest) that causes it to
craaaaaawl.  I immediately, after upgrading went to Windows update to get
the rest of the updates (all 36 of them) and it took over 4 hours to install
the first 9.

I cancelled, did some research, installed the VPC service pack and then
retried - it tool less than 20 minutes to do the other 27.  ;^)

IE 7 looks good so far.

I'm REALLY pleased because none of my complex HTAs have any problems - all
of the script and style injection stuff I was worried about still works just
fine (now if only I can get FireFox to support something as nice).

In other beta news the beta of MSN Messenger 8 seemed to fix my problems
with that (7.5 would NEVER log in on boot - it would work for a while and
then either it or Steam would crash - 8.0 beta is working perfectly so far).
