Sounds like many of you are up and running so let's hear some tales of triumph and awesome.

Man, the forum must be getting slammed. Taking a long time to load pages. Anyway... even though I'm not installed the download went rather well with Firefox. Took about 3-4 hours without the Dim Pro and DSF strings stuff (already had both installed). At about a MB per second each major component took 20-30 minutes. Not sure if Cakewalk has different servers in Canada so maybe mine went quicker than others. I have the read me/install docs open and reading them now. I was planning on waiting to install but I do kind of want to check out TH2 and R-Mix. I think I'm gonna do a system image before that though so it may have to wait until tomorrow.

too early to say beep, give it a few days and the usual release cycle of "yay" and "nay" will start.. it's a yearly thing.. hero / villain thing .. if it wasn't like that , I'd think something was really up 

maybe R-Mix might help that drum track :)

Italy:
X2 downloaded and used for about 60 minutes.
Seems to be faster and more accurate than X1 relating to the GUI. I'm getting a good sound and a very good stability.
I'm mixing and i'm going to close my last work on X2 platform.
I'll tell you.

@Fog... I figured but I wanted to counteract some of the current negativity. I'm assuming a whole pile of our regulars are currently slapping it around and having too much fun to post. :-)

@scook... I have far grander plans for R-Mix. That silly little tester song is gonna get shelved as soon as I finish the guitars. If I do anything with it I'll start completely from scratch. It's an interesting tune but it was just a test.

oh, I don't think the buyers remorse has set in yet. I think today went pretty well. If more people would use download managers, I am convinced their d/l experience would be better.

@piangio... Please do. Very much looking forward to hearing what people are achieving in X2. Greetings from Canada.

Loving it so far.
 
Loaded current project (using Save AS, obviously) and just fiddling around.  Really enjoying the workflow.
 
Love the Console emulation.
 
Just had white screen of death (see other thread), but loving it otherwise.  Breverb seems very tasty, but only played around with presets.  Current project has long Classical guitar intro (bit Prog, but Hey Ho), and Segovia preset sounds lurvely..
