Comment and Question -
1. I do not think that WM5 itself is beta at all. On other systems it works without tinkering. It is the
Dell version of WM5 that is at least a little beta. No forum searching or serious tinkering should be required of the OS that comes on a system.
2. I have used both WM5 and WM2003SE extensively at this point. I still do not see any functional or interface improvements in WM5. In fact, there are several areas in which the WM2003SE interface avoids nasty trips through menus. The memory management on WM5 would be valuable except that using good backup software with WM2003SE avoids data loss. Only touted feature of WM5 that seemed useful to me was longer battery life, but I never really saw that benefit.
So what are the 'lot of improvements' you have seen in WM5?
