I have had Windows 8 Release Preview Build 8400 x64 installed now for approximately 1 hour. The installation was very fast about 15 minutes from start to restart. My impression right now is "Excellent" so far it has been very fast and easy to setup, find things and maneuver around.

So far IE 10 is Awesome, all I need to figure is how to enlarge the text since there is NO Menu Bar present. Found it...With IE 10 open move your mouse to the upper or lower right corner of your monitor which will bring up the "Charms Bar" simply click on the "Gear" Icon and this will open IE 10 Settings. Then mke whatever adjustments necessary.

Below are some images I took and I apologize in advance for the terrible pictures, as all I had handy was my Windows Phone. I loaned my camera to a friend for the Golden Gate Bridge 75th Anniversary last weekend and have not gotten it back yet.

as you can see the key screen appears quickly in the installation process

Did you notice your WEI came up a few points?

System Rating is not yet available in W8. Maybe I should ask what WEI is?

I haven't looked, but I will. However I am not sure what it was on W7...Oops!

Thats what I thought and it is now called "System Rating" and it is not available in this Build.
