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?
Felix.

it is not to bad on ram. I have outlook 2k and a few ie processes and a dozen programs in my tray and it is eating 164 megs of ram. That is not to bad is it? I would say that a power user with win xp will want like 384 megs of ram or more cause it is very easy to use over 300 megs.
