It's positively hostile to netbooks, my 1024x600 Dell Mini won't allow the Metro start screen to launch applications because there is a minimum screen size requirement (of 1024x768). Fortunately one can launch applications from Explorer in the old-fashioned way.

Other than that it's pretty and well polished, a pleasure to use. As it's free to use for the moment, there's no better value.
