• I got it. I am an MCP and I subscribe to several of Microsoft's weekly newsletter. Their hardware newsletter was sent out yesterday and it had an invitation code which allowed me to download it from http://connect.microsoft.com. I installed it in a VM and it's sluggish in this environment but semi-usable. My biggest concerns are related to the Quick Launch Bar and the Taskbar. I find that the redesign makes it difficult to tell the difference between shortcuts in the QLB and already opened programs in the TB. Also, the time/date section of the notification area takes up to lines by default. I have checked to see if it can be make smaller. In reply to: "Where's Windows 7 beta? Microsoft posts, then pulls the download"

• I think the problem that I have with understanding the functionality of Twitter is why do we have to know EVERY status update for a friend. In Today's always tethered world, why do have have to make a status update when we are walking into a coffee shop, then getting into our car and then we are walking from our to our front door, and finally sitting down at our computer. Call me crazy, but I find it ridiculous. In reply to: "Facebook gunning for Twitter"

• One thing to keep in mind about this program is that it is classified as BETA. Adobe Acrobat 9 is also in BETA and Adobe Flash Player 9 is also in BETA. I enjoy playing with BETA programs, especially when they are web based, community based and free. Keep this in mind when you complain about the quality of this program. It is free and in a testing phase. In reply to: "Adobe Acrobat takes big online leap"

• Facebook Apps
  Facebook Apps may be "Just for Fun" and silly but at least they are
  not as annoying as Myspace profiles. After all, Facebook Apps, can
  at least be collapsed so you only see the ones that you are
  interested in. In reply to: "Study reveals shocking truth: Most Facebook apps are silly, pointless"
