Mine works fine.

I would have liked to see more demos, particularly walk-thrus instead of
sit-back-and-watch types.  I like the idea of putting complete images
of the System software on it -- that's quite useful.  The number of
technical questions in the Q/A section was disappointing; I hope the
real disc has much more.  And finally, the audio dialogue wasn't as
corny as I thought it would have been.

But heck, can't beat the price!
