@Jay – Hey, give me some credit, I’ve been running it on bare metal since PDC. VM’s are for sissies!

“I used it in a VM, which means no glass”
“I used it in Virtual PC”

come on guys? really?

1. use VMWare Workstation, you get glass.
2. is that really a good test of experience?

I’ve been using it since Jan 23 and it is awesome. Everything is very smooth. Windows Media Player 12 especially is excellent (resume previous playlist is awesome).

for touch: HP Touchsmart. $1100 imac like computer w/ multitouch.

On the topic of ISO mounting,
WINRAR doesn’t mount ISOs, but it allows you to fully explore their contents and extract them (which is just as good)
I often use it for all of my MSDN installs.
I just open the ISO in Win RAR and I can run the ‘setup.exe’ or whatever right from there.
