Upgraded to 8.1 yesterday, but I've only really started messing around with it today. Booting straight to desktop and using my desktop wallpaper for the Start screen really make it feel a lot more like a PC and not just a PC with a tacked-on tablet interface. The Mail app does seem to be a lot better, enough so to make me keep using it over a more traditional desktop client at least. Having a Start button back is nice as well (never bothered with any of the Start-restoring apps), something about moving my cursor to the corner to get to the start screen never felt natural. One thing that was pretty weird: I have a standard monitor plugged into my videocard via DVI and a 1080P TV plugged in via HDMI. For some reason, the TV was set to scale all windows/cursors way larger than normal (to the point I thought it was defaulting to 720P resolution). Finally figured it out and got everything back to normal, but it's weird they'd enable something like that. I guess they're assuming displays of a certain size will be placed far enough away to necessitate something like that? Plus, like everyone else posted, I have an extra 10 gigs free after installation - which is pretty nice on a 128 gig SSD. That's one extra game install I don't have to shuffle around!
