I like it but some programs I use allot are not available or don’t work as well. Skype for one. the o/s Seems to be very quick and I like some of the visuals. (the way the screen snaps)After I installed I had to find how to get drivers as even the dialogue is different than windows, not saying its a bad thing just different. overall I think its just fine. Communication is not as good and hard pc gamers will not like it, but for personal web use its fine, and I believe those other features will catch up. I don’t need a virus protection either a major plus.

My thoughts on it: what a change! I like the launcher, but I’m not sure if I like my applications’ menus in the panel itself. That will take some getting used to.

As for the nice lenses you can get for the launcher – I see that being a good thing.
