Your feedback on Beta2 install experience

We released Beta 2 Visual Studio Express products 6 weeks ago. We have been listening to your feedback through forums, Watson feedback data (you can opt-in such program at the beginning of the setup) etc. We published a tool to help uninstalling Beta/CTP program. I appreciated your feedback to make VS 2005 better. I am wondering your experience/thoughts in a few areas after Beta 2 release.

Did the download and install succeed the first time? If not, how many times did it take?
Did you come across a situation where you decided to cancel the download or install? If so, why?
What do you like/hate about Express? (It could be setup specific or not related to Express setup)?
What do you wish to see in Express that is not there (It could be setup specific or not related to setup)?
What do you think of the uninstall tool http://mscomapps/fwlink/edit.asp?linkid=47065

The cancel one is particularly interesting to me, since we can see occurrences of this in the Watson data, but don't get a lot of visibility into why this happened and whether the setup is broken somehow. I looking forward to hearing what folks experienced.

Thanks, Hong Gao
