45 minutes to download the ISO, 10 mins to burn to a DVD, then 20 minutes to install to its own partition, with just 2 reboots, and 65 MB of updates.
Access to existing OS's for files etc.
Some good 'Apps', if that floats your boat.
Memory and CPU useage noticeably less than the Vista comp this is on.
No VM install as CPU is cheeeeep
IE10 is great.
Long live Powershell, cmd.exe is dead!
Initial impression? Instant useability with the tiles, and a reassuring Desktop if all else fails.
Next event; the 64bit version for the Win7 laptop.
PS. You don't need a touchscreen.
