- The problems are still there in the beta. I've given up on copying/moving
- with WPS. It just doesn't work all that well.
-
- I have major problems when trying to move a half-meg worth of data between
- the C drive and the A drive. Usually, the copy operation just hangs.
-
- Even when it does work it's ten to twenty ( yes, I've timed it.) times
- slower than from the command line.
