LOOKS like microsoft has a lot of bugs to deal with, but I am overall pretty pleased with Beta 2. Many of the programs under XP work fine without compatability changes.
There seems to be a problem with the Explorer system. Anytime I try to access the file system through a program (not via Windows Explorer or My Computer) the entire program crashes. For example, Office 2007 - you have to open the files you need using the Windows Explorer and not the actual Open menu inside office.
This happens with all programs.

Explorer, "Browse" just breaks and crashes out
You might want to bug this :o) http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?bugreport
