I'm pretty ambivalent about it myself. I like the filesystem idea they're cooking up, but that's about it. <p></p><i></i>

There are certainly things to like about it - but it's really just a SQL database for your NTFS filesystem. <br><br>From what I've read, the filesystem is a cool new thing that may change the way we use our desktops ("OOh, metadata!"), and the new graphics system, Aurora(?). Goodbye, GDI? <br><br>It'll be interesting, but I'm reserving judgement. There's still enough things I don't like about XP that I run most of my boxen on Win2K.<br><br>*edit*<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="
