It's a bit hit and miss - I am finding it a lot more stable than previous versions of Windows, but driver support is still lagging awfully.
Also the EUC or whatever is fucking annoying - YES, I DO DEFINITELY WANT TO OPEN THIS FILE. STOP DARKENING THE WINDOW AND MAKING ME CLICK THINGS.

I've worked in IT for over a decade now -
I'm surprised anyone can summon the energy to give a shit

a) a life
b) a grip on reality

Sorry.. just venting :)
