I don't know whether you have had any feedback on this yet, but I have been 
running a Merlin Beta for a week or two on a desktop system (Pentium 133) at 
work, but I won't be upgrading my version of Connect on my (own) TP (755cx).  
Although I like a number of the small improvements from Connect to Merlin I have 
the low price 755cx version with no MWave, so the voice navigation is of no benefit 
(& wouldn't warrant me buying a PCMCIA sound card), my requirement for Java 
support is (currently) negligible, and likewise OpenDOC, etc.

The big killer for me is that whereas Connect runs fairly happily on my TP with 
16MB, I very soon upgraded my desktop from 16MB to 32MB to get it to run like 
something other than treacle.  That done, however, I am perfectly happy with it.  
Now that I can get it in the UK at last, (at more or less the same price as Connect) 
I will get the commercial version for the desktop, but the small (for me) 
improvements with the much larger overheads requirement mean that I will stick 
with the (relatively!) slimline Connect for my TP.
