Free preview available looks like we are going to get it in parts.
Quick look (I will read later) looks like a short story and the first pages of the introduction to the sixth world.  No rules as far as I could see but did have a small part on shadowslang.

Second Preview is up:

kv:
Second preview contains the dice mechanic, which is similar to 4th edition. Attribute + Skill + Modifiers.

I'm interested to see how they do initiative.

Introduces the concept of 'limits' which mean that you can't get 500 successes with a pistol and take out a armored helicopter anymore. Most skills have a physical or mental limit (based of your attribute), while weapons have a limit based on how accurate/damaging they are, so there are actual reasons to upgrade your guns over time.

They also clarified some of the language in the Edge rules (which needed it), and they took out the name 'Finger of God' for the rule burning all your edge to survive an impossible situation.

I just hope one of the next previews will contain stuff about the Matrix.  I can hopes.
