Windows 8

Download the 64-bit Preview ISO image and installed it on my Toshiba Satellite C600 laptop. 

Installation was smooth - typical windows installation with no hickups.   Booting was smooth.   They made the windows startup extremely simple.   Could have added some color and flash to it.  




The windows start screen is a step forward.


This is impressive.   That boring old start button which we have been seeing Windows 95 is gone!!!!!
Looks similar to my friend's windows mobile phone which he bought recently.  Gives me a feeling that Microsoft is tying to bridge the mobile and desktop world with common UI which is fascinating and a way forward. 

The UI looks impressive, dashing and much better than its predecessors.

I could install a lot of applications with no trouble....like

Pidgin messenger,
Groupwise Client,
Office 2007
Google Desktop Search
Bitdefender

No issues running these....

Looks like the Windows Preview release is stable as Windows 7 itself
