I’m also doing a Beta test, and despite using some pretty ancient hardware, the whole thing was easy to install and does “exactly what it says on the tin”. Very stable and pretty quick even on my setup.

This is shaping up to be a really useful piece of software, assuming Microsoft can resist the temptation to overprice it.

Yes there are some niggles, but this is such a good and fully featured product at such an early stage in the beta cycle. I’m very impressed so far.

Just posted some more on using backups.

I’m beta testing now myself! Once it is running, it is VERY easy to use and very stable! I’m seeing that this could be simple enough for even my mum to use!
