I did. Interesting:confused:. Lots of bug fixes that I noticed right away. The Store seems faster (about time:rolleyes:). The title bar seems to be a bit darker, which looks so much better than that almost white title bar in the first version. Overall, good so far. But it has only been five minutes:D
