- Installation was SUPER simple, no files or programs were lost.
- Live Tiles are cool.
- It's nice to interact with a Windows machine in a different way.
- Notifications in the People app aggravates both my Twitter and Facebook mentions/messages all in one place. I can also see posts from both Facebook and Twitter at once and interact with them. No more switching between programs!
- The News app is cool. It pulls articles from a bunch of different news sources. Will be great to read when I'm bored or have been through all the blogs I usually read.
- Tweetro app is awesome for tweeting.
- Weather app has nice hourly forecast.
- The only option for setting up the Messaging app are MSN messenger and Facebook messenger - Lame. I'd love to at least have a Google chat account connection.
- There is no archive button in the Mail app for us Gmail users.
- The corners are hot-mapped for various controls. Either I'm just not used to it yet, or it's a little finicky, but I keep clicking the wrong things when I'm trying to click in the corners to do things.
- Setting things up was a little laborious as I had to completely restart my computer to connect Facebook, and then again to connect Twitter.
- Shutting down the computer requires one mouse motion, and 3 clicks. Seems to be a bit much. There should be simpler/faster way to shut your computer down.
