Intense Beta has posted a review on Windows Whistler Beta 1.

Whistler is a very important OS for Microsoft. Microsoft started getting big with a major version of windows called windows 95. Its very old now but in 95 it was a major breakthrough for Microsoft. Windows 98 came after and then came Windows Me yet they were all 9x kernel. With Windows NT came a new and more stable kernel called the NT kernel. It was a revolution for the next major windows. Windows 2000 was the next major windows based on the nt kernel which made it more stable. Windows me was the last 9x kernel based operating system. Whistler will be a major improvement toward the operating systems. It will supposedly combine Windows ME and Windows 2000. What I mean by that is with Windows 2000 is a business OS and not meant for games and multimedia to be played on it. Microsoft is creating Whistler to be for everyone, home users and business.
