You want tough? :) I have now poked around enough to see that they have worked _really_ hard to completely screw up the explorer. They've flipped the meaning of the open and explore commands; it's no big deal, but it's pointless. Where there were once scroll bars, one now has to hover with the mouse and somehow will the hidden pixels into view: maybe they were thinking of charging extra for that feature as a Ouija board simulator. I realize that I am expecting too much from a first service pack, but it seems sad to watch the system go into (minor) hysterics when faced with a flash drive in a USB port. The mouse cursor went nuts, and it seems to think it has several such drives connected (it does not) making it a fun exercise to figure out which of the devices to stop.
Overall, it's worse than I expected, and THAT'S saying something. I might play around more tomorrow, but that noise you hear is a drive getting ready to be reformatted.
