I have it and like it. I think it's an ideal solution for the more casual computer user as it provides very easy access to the main tools you use (email, web etc). It does take a few hours of getting use to.
The only frustration I have with it is when I want to do something more technical (manage program's, open control panel etc) as ot clear ow ou did that (as o start menu like old versions). Once I found the search facility though (move mouse to top right) it all became clear
