Having played with it on my MBA I can say I generally like it. The few niggles I have are no way clear way to kill a running app, the way too large address bar in IE and I think the UI in the Mail app is fubar. It shouldn't have taken me 10 min of playing with it to figure out how to create a new email. (The button for it disappears when in folder view or account view). IMO that button needs to be sticky unless you are already in reply/create mode. Lack of consistency in how apps behave versus the home screen. On the home screen I can 2 finger swipe to move among the pages of tiles horizontally but on the USA Today app that won't work. You have to either use the anchor arrows or physically drag the horizontal scroll bar to advance to the next news section. I find IE to be pretty fast but no plugin support is a killer and will prevent me from using this Preview more often. Big improvement over the developer build I used.
