I waffled on about this a while back on my blog here:

and

There doesn't appear to be anything new or groudbreaking about the new version that I can see, from their demos a lot appear to be based around connectivity to other devices, which other than an Xbox is useless to me. Also I don't think the beta uses any cloud computing (especially not requiring 16GB of hdd space!). I'll probably download it and install it on a space PC just to see what it's like.

Got this Windows 7 on my laptop, not too impressed with it though, seems to be very laggy.

That's to be expected with a beta though. Not a dig.
