I installed via the so-called 'Insider Preview' on a Thinkpad x120e. I 
haven't used it very much and I haven't installed LO or OO yet.

so far:

a) AMD Catalyst program seems broken and I haven't succeeded yet in 
fixing it and updating the driver for the Radeon 6310.

b) system gets unusable if I try to use my usb-connected Logitech 
trackball, the cursor moves but no responses to clicks; then the 
keyboard goes wonky so no right or left clicks work from the inbuilt 
trackpad.

c) the default theme and colors seem dour, fonts fuzzy, but so far I 
can't find a pallette to choose from. there are even worse themes to 
select from and a limited set of about 8 dour colors. I haven't tried 
yet to install true-type (that's a separate procedure, right?).

d) perforce I have a Microsoft account but I turned off most of the 
'call home' features and don't use Cortana or One-drive and so forth 
but I suspect there's plenty of 'telemetry' going on behind the 
scenes, not wholly inappropriate for a preview version.

e) I can't tell yet about speed and performance, too little usage, but 
it boots kind of slow but seems ok otherwise.

I suspect there are fixes for some of the problems; feel convinced I 
could improve the display if I could get good drivers.

I concur with the above (limited experience with Win7); didn't know 
about Firefox supplying background graphics?
