from a strictly business economics point of view at MS I think we can assume this will go forward quickly, already the beta is very stable and provides greatly enhanced productivity (i have yet to see my first BSOD). The multiple flavours personally i was hoping to see trimmed to perhaps three though. Right now the beta is lean, mean and functional. the vast bulk of end users are not going to need or use many of the features that already brought vista to a near standstill. so long as they make end users aware come retail release of their requirements/benefits then this should go amazingly well. just have my laptop units run as they are doing now, with the connectivity they have now, and i am first in line.
