I've seen small snippets regarding MS Avalon but can find little information on it: what it does and how the Nov 2004 public release would affect XP sp2. Equally to the point, its possible affects on Object Desktop and other Stardock products. I'm all for enhancing my computing experience but am unsure on this one and want to play it safe, so if anyone here has tried it or can shed some light on it, that would be greatly appreciated
