Does it include Windows Power Shell? They may be pushing that, over the crappy old cmd.exe. The other problems you mention sound like the sort of things to be expected in a beta, that wind up fixed in the release. As to the interface, Microsoft does seem to release poorly designed versions of Windows from time to time, like Vista, Windows Me, the early versions of NT before Win2K. I skipped from XP, which I like, to Win7, which I also like. We'll see if my next OS is Win9. -- Ciao, Paul D.
