   Boots faster. Menus are snappier and it used my previous settings folder flawlessly. Now has a couple extra 'automated' options. Still has the (very minor) display bug which I notice on the tray clock plugin.
   One thing I learned the hard way was you can click the top or bottom of screen and this will hide the bars (or unhide them). Devs should work for MS just to show them how worthless explorer really is.

   I am amazed my desktop can look this good. Reminds me of using Linux, but on Windows. Finally I can bridge the gap between my Linux and Windows accounts. There are a few issues, but for beta status it is pretty much rock solid, and so easy to configure!

   Awesome!! If only because I have never looked back on explorer and it's retarded interface.
   Still has the bug whereby when one ap is minimized & u open another the minimized ap comes up. At least now when you position your bar in the middle it doesn't crash (bar takes up only the real estate it needs to)
   Between this & tc up, explorer is done & gone for good.
   Deserves a ten.
   Configuring is very very easy once you play around for a minute. Explorer.exe die crash & burn
   Runs in windows 7 too. Vista I could care less about

   Even though it does seem to use more resources than does explorer, it's easily and highly customizable with full transparency adjustment as well as icon sizing across the board(the only shell replacement I know of for free that does this). Does not work with lclock & volumouse.
   Has skins included with theme support and does not need installation at all. Even replaces explorer in safe mode-cool.

   Gnome blows and even stating gnome in the situation of a WINDOWS SHELL is more than just a tad retarded...
   
   that being said.. there are a few ones out there.. but several of then have kind of stalled in development Litestep/LiteStep/DarkStep/rest of the confused bunch, for example..
   
   This one looks good and although its very incomplete at the moment as long as it doesnt fall into the massive "abandoned-ware" bag, it COULD really go places..
