Windows Whistler

Anyone else d/led the Beta1 from MSDN? What do you think, if you tried it? Seems pretty cool, and pretty stable for a Beta1 so far. Super cool GUI too...

I'm using the IA-64 version and it's okay. Just seems like Windows 2K on steriods. I haven't used the x86 version though.

I kinda like the new start menu, although many people complain about it. At least MS put in the option to revert to the "classic" design.

How's the game compatibility?

I need to install this and run all my favourite games to make sure any game-related bugs get reported to Microsoft to get fixed... since this is the future consumer OS, I'd hate to have to keep a copy of win98 around just so I can play 1995-1998 vintage games.

Where would I get this? I went to msdn.microsoft.com, but could not find a link. Also: do you need a CD burner do use it? Thanks
