Our very preliminary experiences with 8.5

Disabling Anti Virus is a MUST for installs. We have been seeing installs in the 10 min range with AV off. AV on was taking about 1 hour.

I have been getting about 1 slow startup with my 8.5 client a week. Other times its pretty fast loading up. I always log out of Notes and do a Start - Shutdown in Windows. This is a MAJOR improvement over 8.0.2 where it would take 5 min to start every single day.

However, 8.5 has its quirks. There are little glitches that occur that just shouldn't happen.
With that said 8.5 is what 8.0 should have been in regards to .0 releases of a client.

Will be looking forward to 8.5.1 to squash some of these bugs.
