    well, honestly, I have been with 15.06 beta and so far haven't run into problems.

    And 9.20 isn't beta lol, and take in account that the software has been on hold for a long time, now back on track.

    I have never seen this project in any state other than BETA! Seems like the developer isn't confident of his software to run as a final so he keeps it in beta eternally.

    The 64 bit version can not open Win10 install.wim here, but 32 bit version opened it fine.

    The latest 7-Zip can extract WIM content and is able to recreate junction, hard links, symbolic links, etc...
    I think that we can "extract" a WIM and boot on it without any problem, I will test right now.

    If you don't want to contribute something productive in this thread, then fine. But please don't post any 'BETA' nonsense here.

    Current beta is good, as usual.

    .7z format rocks as does the software, which each 'beta' could count as a final release, as they are pretty stable as these are (no problems handling anything).
