I like it. Menu bar is thinner and fonts are smaller. Also auto suggest on search is really cool.
The only thing that was slightly cumbersome was the checkout process but otherwise it was pretty smooth.
What bugged me is that I had to take 'snail mail' delivery instead of being offered the option to download an ISO image. There absolutely is no added value in having to wait for a week for delivery of something that could have been done instantly, no fun when you're computer is broken and sitting there doing nothing for longer than necessary.
Anyone else seeing the graphical glitch with the search field upper left ? I'm running Chrome on Ubuntu. But still - they could at least have tested it a little before launch.
