Go a little too far and you end up in the next screen, which I could see getting annoyed at, but it works pretty well for some of us. When you say you have 6' worth of real estate, it's obviously multi screen but I'm wondering if you set your screens up differently. Having to go from the far right screen all the way to the far left screen's corner would be annoying as hell I'm sure.
I'll agree with one thing, this OS is not for everyone so I'm not frowning upon anyone who hates it. But since you have it already I'm just trying to throw things out there that maybe you missed.
I also got that screen that said installation failed, reverting to previous OS when I tried to upgrade my Vista machine directly from the desktop. I ended up doing a custom install via optical disk right over the top of the Vista install. Worked fine on that try.

Nah you ain't trolling bud
When I did the clean install, I did have the option to get to the menus like you say
But I run my three screens as one (NVidia Surround) for gaming, and that's what screwed me
And, I got this message just doing windows updates
I'm gutted, I really do want a new OS to play with
And ironically I'm being stopped twice because of resolution!
My net-book is to low a Res, and my PC is too high
I Like Smileys :)
