My question is:
Now that the Whistler Beta program is in full swing and many people have "obtained" copies through one means or another, can we discuss issues etc on this board much the same as we discussed 2000 betas?
I would be interested to know of others experiences and views on Whistler as, although it is only Windows 5.1, it would still be good to have an open forum to discuss issues and opinions.
What do the rest of you think?

i like the skinability (if thats a word heh), of it and i look forward to making my own skins and shell looks for it. I like litestep and other programs like that but i dont feel like taking the time to learn it all, even though it would be cool. I just wish that M$ would make the kernal and other companies would make the GUI for it like linux has.
Well..
How do you know if MS is making those skins or not? I mean...maybe they said to companies to make them but make sure you keep the Start Menu and Desktop looking the same, but change it anyway you can? I mean, it's too early into pre-beta to figure that out.

CM do me a fav and just post links. I am on a 24 k connection here out in the middle of nowhere Vermont. Also it makes it a real pain to veiw posts when all of those pics are loading you loose your place cause everything gets shifted down as you are reading.
and to jdulmage I am not quite sure I understand what you mean about the skins! Of course MS is going to produce skins that is one of the main features of the new OS.
yes....what is strange about it THC, is that Beta 5 of napster works, beta 7 is a no no...I don't know why...possibly the port 6699 or whatever that napsters uses or something...I don't know, but I have submitted the bug to MS already....*me hints that i'm a tester*
anyways...
that is a strange one
P.S: Atomic clock features in Whistler rule!!!!!

wtf are you talking about? whistler is going to be more than just skins, it's already on average benchmarked faster than windows 2000, there are a whole pile of custom features and new features such as built in Firewalls, Atomic Clock settings, etc.
Whistler is going to be the home/consumer STABLE operating system. It has more to do than with just changing the way it looks.
