It's BETA but it's rock solid. The UI is different but overall pretty impressive.

This is NOT the Beta-version. This is the developer preview-release that was released at this year's Build-conference. Beta 1-release isn't until later this year, at which we'll really start to see how the system performs.

I've run it on an older box, and the system seems faster. The new layout is a bit to get used to, however, but it only takes a slight adjustment of thought, from PC to tablet, to get comfortable with it. And besides, how many of us spend our days staring at the desktop, anyway?
