Well, I got it downloaded, installed a separate partition from my Vista install on my Dell E6400 laptop. Got the product key Microsoft sent me entered and all is good so far. I've been using it since about 9 a.m. this morning and I will say that this OS is as smooth and quick as any I've seen. Even though I've got Aero on, it is running as quick as if I've got XP on here with no theme at all. The install was absolutely effortless and it even had prompts to setup my wifi connection. After starting the first time, the OS instantly downloaded all necessary updates and, surprisingly, all the necessary drivers for my machine, even the graphic card!

It took a little gettig used to a exploring things to see most of the changes, but I love them all so far.
