Boss BR-864 Programmable Rhythm Guide

I'm looking at a brochure and I can't figure our a few features. Is the programmable rhythm guide on this unit comparable to an existing Boss drum machine? I know its not out yet but I'm hoping someone checked it out at NAMM or something. I'm trying to decide between this and a Fostex MR-8. It seems that this has amp modelling which would eliminate my need for a POD type unit and a built in drum machine (maybe).
Are there other differences that I'm missing between this an a MR-8 besides the $200?
Last but certainly not least would this work with Windows 98 second edition if I got a CF card reader?
Thanks for the help.
PS I'm a cretin with no recording experience other than watching the engineer slide knobs while I blast away on the guitar.
