Installation took less than 30 minutes. All my peripherals work fine. No problems with drivers. Installation even setup my wireless network, and downloaded some updates during the installation. Windows Update installed the latest nVidia driver for my video card. The only 3rd party driver I downloaded, which I didn't even need to, was a touch-pad driver from Synaptics. It was the most painless OS installation I've ever done. I will be buying this when it comes out.
