Driver support is a bit patchy, and it managed to eat it's partition after a day installed... Seemed rather fast, faster than previous versions. The UI is *seriously* annoying though if you're used to using the start menu a lot ( and it's really ugly ). I'm hoping SP1 will give the option of a more conventional desktop.
My posts are my opinion, and should be read as such.

Works fine for me although I have invested #4:99 in the Start8 utility which gives me back my Start button and opens to the deaktop. No problem with drivers and TS2013 works fine. I do not have my Steam installation in the "C:\Program Files |(x86) directory but in C:\Steam which helps to eliminate the Protected status of the system directories.
