    Mine went like this:

    Woke up at God knows what time to potty.
    Hit upgrade on the way back to bed.
    Garbage man came and woke me a little.
    Turned over and hit yes to whatever the reboot is required message was.
    Woke up for real this morning and was all ready to go.

    took me 15 min in total from download to install over wifi at work which i guess is T1 since it went by so quickly...it's ok, having trouble finding the folders i had before like Favorites and media but i'm guessing there is a way to do that i hope.

    p.s.

    the last 2 times i used desktop manager to update anything (when i bought it and now) on the playbook it game me an error midway through install and would stop, but it works fine over wifi.
