So how did you find the BTTR forum with it ???

The good things:

- There seem to be important fixes in DKRNL32, WSOCK and HELL32
- Missing imports in OWB and early crashes are gone
- MEDIAINFO works now

The evil things:

- OWB doesn't work, all what I get is just a white screen (sorry no stupid empty shot uploaded)
- It still crashes when I push CTL-C
- [minor] HX BUG with redundant space still in (see shot)

Funny things:

- Arguments are reversed compared to XP (see shot)





Oops, forgot to retest the HX timing regression, or is it fixed maybe ?
