Interesting... have you had a chance to try it out?

Agree there's a lot of truth to that.
How much of the comfort zone is the look and feel,
vs how much do you think is the brand and/or logo?
MSW-Vista/7 will be an uncomfortable change for a lot of MSW-XP users.

If anyone can try this out with some people,
please report your observations to the list :)
