    Ah, this should've been what Vista was supposed to be except with lower hardware requirements without the obvious performance hit. The look has been upgraded of course and I think some of the artists of those wallpapers must be smoking something. Talk about psychedelic. I'm not a fan of the taskbar but perhaps I need to give it more time. One thing of note is that it did not automatically download all the needed drivers. Don't know who to blame on that one: Microsoft or the manufacturers. So prepare to have your stuff not work. That said, what did they do to the media player? IT SUCKS. Looks like its main purpose is to hawk Microsoft products. Go back to version 10 and try again, please. UAC is still annoying as ever. Turn the slider all the way down to save your sanity. And speaking of software, no, your old XP software won't work -- not even in compatibility mode.

    @ UniversityofKentucky - That isn't actually Windows fault (For once). Windwos can't install to ext(n) partitions so what you needed to do was either create a second partition with NTFS or FAT32 or reformat your whole HDD. In any case, if this release is a flop I'm going full linux, if not I'm going to keep XP or switch to Win 7 (Dual-boot still).
