I am a MSDN subscriber, so I downloaded it as soon as possible. I like it much more than I like XP. The skin is nicer, Outlook is a large improvement. One question though, do I get the CD pack for free since I am a subscriber? Or am I limited to downloading (I am a new subscriber)? I just received my first shipment yesterday, and it didn't have Office Systems 2003 Beta 2, that's why I ask.

ehh.. well, i was changed but am refusing to pay it as i didn't ask for another copy.. if ur in the States, its free

I really like the Calendar Sharing in Outlook. Although the previous version of Outlook has Calendar Sharing, it seems easier with this Outlook because you can view calendars side by side.
