Well, I'm still running it :)
I have a 755cs with 12meg, and I was constantly running out of resources in
win31.  I do a lot of www work, and need to have netscape, photoshop,
editors, etc, open at once, and just being rid of that old win31 nemesis
would have been enough for me.

I entered the beta late, but I understand that the previous beta was faster.
Don't know how much.. I haven't noticed much of a speed difference between
win95 and win31.

I'm pleased with it, I love the interface, it works great, there are some
bugs, and I do still crash sometimes, but it handles them pretty well, and I
certainly feel like I've upgraded..

That seems to be the general consensus.
