Yah. the new UI reminds me of medicine (especially gelcaps like NyQuil) tho ;P
Also, builds since 2410 have been Beta 2 previews ;P

I have preview Beta 2 build 2419. Yes the built in drivers for the G400 suck so much @$$ that you can't do anything beyond the absolute basics. I was just mentioning DH because people have asked about it.
Although the UI is odd and will defiantely take some time to get used to, it does have some interesting features. Explorer.exe sucks up 15 MB RAM by itself, but it still runs rather smoothly.
What I meant by it's not that bad, is that so far I haven't had any troubles with it. No lock ups, no program crashes, no errors, etc. The UI is nuts and is a pain at times, but that's nothing a little tweaking can't fix.
Since the GUI is skinnable and comes with a 'Classic Windows' skin you can make it look and work like Win2k, except the start button.
But since I just barely put it on last night I haven't really had time to play with it much. Especially since I watched 3 hours of anime last night =)

Wow. i would be interesting in seeing this Beta 2, especially as Microsoft has not even released one yet!
Anyways, this thread is so obviously flamebait its not even funny.

It's not really beta 2. They're calling it a beta2 "preview". Hehe. That's code for beta1, now isn't it?
It's build 2428, which has the nifty spiffy new interface. Pretty swell.
The dual-head has been in since 2410 or so.
Just FYI.
