I'm in the process of buying a new home PC, and I've been delighted to see the chipset advances that have been made in terms of usability. It's important to me to be able to install and run this new machine as a home information appliance, and the inclusion of ACPI in Memphis is therefore significant. In these simple terms, I believe that the new release is indeed at the cutting edge, although of course it's a crying shame that it's taken the industry so long to get here. The System File Checker, too, is a significant addition, along with the improved Task Scheduler and PPTP support. I'd love to get email about this.
Life is so exciting.
