Here's an updated preview.

I ran it for a little bit, don't really know what to tell you though, I only ran it for a few days. Basically to put it in an analogy its to windows XP like XP was to 2000.
Although they are trying to implement a new file system, which if I remember right is supposed to eventually phase out drive letters.... if you really want I can try and dig up where I read that. But as of now its still using FAT32 and NTFS like XP is.

I should read the rules.

I'm running It on one of my systems, It's very stable for an alpha build.

You are fee to discuss articals and tid bits about unreleased software but do not ask how to get it.
