Is anybody planning on beta testing this? I'd be interested to hear how it's looking.

I am installing it tomorrow on a dual core server. I will let you know how it all goes.

The preview on xkcd looked promising.

I'm considering to have the beta (it's free, like my Ubuntu)... but I'll be reading some reviews first about stability, malware and privacy issues, and dual-boot problems (Windows in the old days just overwrote the boot thingy, so that upon booting the computer, Linux seemed non-existent). Let's see if Microsoft learned to behave. I'm no computer wiz, so if it doesn't behave, I probably can't fix it (and I don't plan on studying the problem).

 

Main reason I'm hesitating is that I don't have a free partition at the moment. I never even considered the option of having a modern, free, version of Windows.
