With the last release, Vista, being delayed so many times and rumours about this date and that date, I just couldn't be bothered looking into new versions of whatever, I will look at them when they release.
I have to say I rather like the look and feel of it, a vast improvement on Vista.

Yeah, mine's still back at NT4 level ... I hate studying for IT exams.
There's a hint here that Samba 4 will act as a complete replacement for AD:

This matter has to a very large extent been resolved in Windows 7.
Yeah the way it gets in the way ... like a true Windows Techy I just turn it off

Probably although I still prefer FireFox.

No, we're not ... I'm ducking out rather than get into that it's pointless and it proves nothing.

I got mine from MS, signed up for the beta ... the copy will run until August.
I don't know if you can still get it (you need a key too) but I got it from here:
