Up and running on my Toshiba laptop, seems much smoother and faster than Vista was (with Aero running I couldn't watch a video without the screen blanking all the time).
It found the network straight away and AVG free is happy running on it. So far so good.

They've removed the 2.5 million download limit:

From The Windows 7 Blog:

"Due to an enormous surge in demand, the download experience was not ideal so we listened and took the necessary steps to ensure a good experience. We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit."
