Try it on a more modern video card. Something from the 6500(Can't recall what NVidia uses for their better models, but if it's FX or MX use that one) series forward. Or for ATi something Radeon 9800 Pro and up.
The 3D desktop is amazing, but won't work without a newer card.
I like the fact that you can put keywords in a files description and that the OS is database driven and the user profile is a service now. It makes it a much more scalable and eventually more responsive system.
I look forward to it.
