No complaints here, and there are even a few surprises beyond the feature list that was announced earlier, like the FFS2 plugins.  Nice.  A couple (rhetorical?) questions that come to mind:

still via AHI, right?

I wonder who the programmer(s) are in charge of these.  Could OS4.0's Ghostscript be a continuation of RĂ¼diger Hanke's Ghostscript 6.5 port (he was working on 7.x), and could the PDF reader be a finished (finally!) version of Emmanuel Lesueur's APDF 3.0?  MUI or Reaction?

> - PartitionWizard

What's this?

Hmm, I had the impression that this had been finished for a long time, about as long as (for example) FFS2.
