Its really terrible. I got it upgraded and then went to move 3 books over to the stream. I hit copy and sat there for 10 minutes with it barely doing anything. Just the dialog box that sayd preparing to copy. I left the room for another 10 minutes and it had copied it when I returned. Talk about slow! Do people have the same problem on the Windows side?
