First thing I can say about it: it is pretty. Very pretty. So pretty even my wife liked it.
From the installation, to the setup, to running the OS, it is pretty.
First things I saw: solitaire -- much better looking now. Sizes well. Also, I won the first game, so I got to see how the end game sequence looks. Nice, the card fall off of the decks like before, then explode once they hit the bottom.
Note: I still have to check out MineSweeper. I have to see if my geek skills are still working.
Mahyong (sp?) is now included.
Non-gaming: the start menu has changed. It is very similar to the WinXP version, but without the "All Programs" popup menu. I'll have to try this again with a fuller menu.
Also note: I'm running this on a 2-3 year old machine with 1 gig ram and a 128 MB Nvidea video card. It runs very smoothly.
Next step: hook it up the the internet.
