Have you used this beta or the previous one? What do you think of it?
This version also contains the WHS2011 Dashboard Tab along with their Desktop Manager. Also, duplication is enabled in this build.
I’ve seen a few minor refresh bugs.
The Dashboard crashes when opened for me. This is a big no no, makes WHS2011 unuseable. I hope this is fixed quickly.
thanks John – I havent installed it myself yet, I havent figured out the best way to actually test it!
