I am not sure about Beta release but logic says it should as the skinning/desplay engine of xp and WS2K3 are same and WB4.6 does work on WS2K3 ... !!!

Yes. Toolbar icons aren't changed, but then they weren't in WB4 either.
There seems to be an issue where WB5 continues to repaint apps that are not responding, even if you end task. You have to end up killing explorer.exe or unloading/reloading WB to clear them. But I don't know if thats limited to W2K3 or not.

Well, after some playing around, I found the following

1) W2k3 server with terminal services enabled: neither WB4 nor WB5 works on that configuration.

2) W2k3 server without terminal services: only WB4 seems to work. WB5 install fine but does not seems to be able load any skin.

Does anybody knows if there is a way to turn on debugging for WB5 ?

Thanks.
