Anyway, I've been using it about a week, and it seems pretty much on par with Vista (which is a good thing, Vista has worked great for awhile now).

The only thing so far that I've read and didn't like is the redesign of the quick launch bar (the bar in the bottom left next to the start menu). It is going to serve more of a purpose and possibly be combined with the entire task bar. I use it to launch winamp, firefox, and show my desktop. I don't want it doing anything else.

That was the first thing I turned off, however, I forced myself to turn it back on for awhile, and I'm really starting to love it. I never liked taskbar items combining in Vista or XP, but with these new Aero previews, its really easy and keeps the taskbar nice and clean
3Dmark tests showed essentially the same results as in Vistal. I'm not seeing 22 second boot times, though I only restart my computer for updates, normally I just use suspend. Basically, its Vista, without the negative PR, and actually working well from day 1.
I'm holding out for a few more days on this dual boot then I'm gonna try upgrading my Vista install.
