Anyone else trying it?
Seems ok but the metro interface is completely pointless with a mouse tbh.
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Any idea if it works better than the dev preview under VM? I tried the dev version in both Virtual Box and VM Ware and it ran like a 3 legged dog  , but from what I saw of it I was impressed. May give it a go in a week or two when I have more time, but what's with the 8 different versions they have announced?

I installed it as dual boot on my 2nd HD and it's very snappy indeed, just as fast as Windows 7 if not quicker.
Metro is already annoying the **** our of of me though.
