Oh yeah... another thing... didn't I read somewhere that 8c was going to contain the fix so that emplode didn't appear to "die" (where it doesn't handle its windows events and repaint itself when it becomes "visible", so Windows marks it as "Not responding", etc. ?

Any ETA for that as well?

That should be in beta9. Beta8c contains the protocol modifications which make that behaviour possible (eg: we can get progress info from fsck), but the windows UI needs some tweaking.
