I've seen a friend almost ruining all of its settings. He uninstalled this beta SP, and had to reorganize all of its previous preferences and so on. What took him some hours i think. I'll wait for the stable release to come out, as i did for sp1. Another improvement in this new pack should concern DWM. Unneed to say it will not be like DWM behaviour you spoke of in W.7, but it should be somewhat more fluid, regarding W.Sidebar. Another important thing to say is the fact that it will be really efficient on machines with a minimum requirement of 2Go phys. mem. Won’t give it a try in its present beta phase.
