COOL! Tried it across my VPN from home this weekend. Real slow like you thought - but usable if you are patient.

Shortly afterward I had an after effect (I think it was related). Icons across the top and the panels on the left side went away. Assuming a crash of that app. The desktop and applets stayed up and running though. OS08 on an 810.

Can't wait to have by friend try it on his 770 and see the look on his face.
