Has anyone else installed this yet?

I put it on an old Thinkpad T60. Boots super fast, about as fast as Xubuntu.

It's a bit confusing as to shortcuts to get stuff done, I can't find a list of them. Looks pretty slick and the shortcuts I have found are fast.

    Not got a spare PC, and don't want to risk not being able to play TF2. O_o I suppose I could try it on my old laptop, but that chugs with XP on it, so I wouldn't hold out much hope of it playing ball with 8.

    I quite like the look of the Metro interface. I've got a Windows Phone 7 phone, so that at least is familiar territory. Whether it'll work well with a mouse rather than touch is yet to be seen.

    That's what I thought about my T60 but it runs much better on Windows 8 than it did XP.

    Installed it in a virtual machine. It's horrific.
