download.microsoft.com has been 100% busy for a WHILE now, i haven't been able to download directx 9.0c or media player for weeks

they need to put stuff like huge beta packs on a seperate server, so paying customers can get upgrades, at least

I've had the release for a while now, it's nothing too great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imo.gif.3a57bcc70a4835dc53e86ffae1a0b041.gif I tried it on my laptop, lots of problems, and I can barely have 3 programs going at once without going to 90% CPU usage or above and I am running 1GB Ram and 2.8 Ghz processor.

Weird I have it running on my centrino 1.4 with a gig of ram... and it's not bad at all.
