Hi Jim,

I'm sure it will....but with all the new features, I'm not sure of the prominence of that change. I'll make it a point to ask around about that tomorrow.

>While I've got you on the line... is there any value to using the link in the documentation to report/suggest stuff given that I am NOT an official beta tester (just using the download)?

Another area that I don't have an immediate answer (lol). Feel free to email me at jkoziol@microsoft.com for answers to this and other issues you might have.
