Seeing that the limited time offer would soon be coming to an end I thought I would give it another try while I could. I didn't give it much of a go the first time so I thought I would try and give Windows 8 a fair shack and see if things got easier the more I used it. Its only been a couple of days so the verdict is still out for me. Its installed on my backup rig made out of spare parts, lol it doesn't even have a case yet. Its usable though so its something to play around with.

After the initial explorations I have not fired it up since 4 weeks. There was little more to explore and trying some serious work seems to be a waste of time on an Alpha version. I will get back on it when the beta comes out. Hopefully they will make it easier to get around this Metro.

Most people have played with it a bit, and now are waiting for the Beta. Most don't continue to play with it like some here

The preview simply refused to install on the 64bit 7 host here and I never got to unplug it to install outright on the second drive set up for testing being that it was mainly a developers release to begin with. The beta on the other hand will have a place when the time comes for a good lookover of what MS has in mind.
In the meantime if you want to see how a few things planned for 8 will look like on 7 review the article just posted on how to add the Mosaic look and Better Explorer on Windows 7 without fuss Have a couple of screens here for the Better Explorer that right on as a second explorer option.
Here's the full view.
Now compared side by side with the default Windows Explorer for a good comparison.

Have to agree with this, interest will pickup when the beta is released.
