I loaded it on my main home system Thursday and have been playing since. First thing I loaded was Steam games, WoW and mumble client. Played with some other stuff as well.
Overall, I am liking it quirks and all. Some of the quirks have to do with my live ID. Currently it seems that the facebook integration and stuff will only work if your live id is live.com or hotmail. Mine is my domain but hosted by Microsoft so I need to figure a configuration work around. I am hoping it is a limitation of the CP and not something long term as this issue is reported to affect domains using Office365 at this time. We'll hear more about that soon I hope. multi-monitor support for the desktop rocks and once I figured out WIndows key + PgUp it rocked more. My wife is starting to bug me to load her laptop with it which is unusual. I need to get the Server 8 on my lab system this weekend. Microsoft really wants to present at work to us why we should be getting on the bandwagon.
