Does it include Windows Power Shell? They may be pushing that, over the
crappy old cmd.exe.

The other problems you mention sound like the sort of things to be expected
in a beta, that wind up fixed in the release.

As to the interface, Microsoft does seem to release poorly designed versions
of Windows from time to time, like Vista, Windows Me, the early versions of
NT before Win2K. I skipped from XP, which I like, to Win7, which I also
like. We'll see if my next OS is Win9.
