Got mine all installed last night at midnight, UK time. All up without any errors, this Metrosexual interface will take a while to adjust to though, but so far i'm impressed.

Yeah, the install for W8 is pretty easy and doesnt take long at all.

Glad to see the install has gone quickly for everyone. I will probably upgrade this afternoon after school. Does anyone know how much hard drive space it uses when you upgrade over 7? I am starting to run low on SSD space :/

I didn't really pay attention during the install... but if you can make some room temporarily, my disk space usage was about the same after I removed the old.Windows files (30 gb of space recovered)

Anybody know how to download install by defeating the minimum 1GHz specification? I want to put this on a Fuji U810 UMPC that came preinstalled with Vista so Win 8 should be an improvement over that. Too bad it won't let me download and install since the processor is only 800MHz. I would like to install using a software override if possible. Otherwise I will have to figure out how to temporarily over clock and see if that works.
