[Andrew Schuetze]

Thanks for suggesting people compare the ups and downs of last year to what we see in one photo of a beta system for this year. All too often forums such as this get off on a rant of dislikes.
What I hear that I like so far is quicker boot times, no need for an AC adapter, no wifi router, possible choice of USB joysticks, more internal control of updates ... MORE Robust without a significant increase in complexity. In fact it seems to have gotten less complex.
