Marr admits that the current beta build is "very old" but he said that Microsoft is trying to get an update out soon. He said: "I think you are going to be impressed by how much work our development team has put into the OS".


I have no complaints about the old beta. It has been extremely
stable for me and the performance is great. I don't know what
they're doing for the next Beta but I'd guess that they have
some more performance improvements as they get better with the
architecture. AMD had a very nice gain with SpecInt or something
like that recently. No reason to believe that Microsoft wouldn't
be able to take advantage of more instruction improvements with
K8.
