This is the server platform, very different from the desktop/workstation OS.

Steve beat me to the post in the news forum, but I didn't see it until after I posted it here.

Internet is slow for me today. So, I am only getting 50KB a sec., so I'll have it in about 8 hours.

Been wanting to play with this. Won't be able to connect to WHS and Longhorn domain at the same time, though.

I got it at work. I think it took around an hour.

Wow, took me about 5. 140K early on, then dropped down to 90 as more people hammered it. Loading in VMware right now!

You suck.

My download stopped in at about 40%, so I had to start over. This sucks. Getright won't get the file, either, so it's all on IE to get it. And that sucks.

I'll have it installed later tonight. Have had the beta on my desk all day. I want to play with the new terminal server features.
