My CD is burning now.
I've been playing with the preview for a few days and it all seems good so far.
Mostly improvements to the user interface, but it has (experimental) support for ext4 now.
Also comes with KDE 4, Gnome 2.22, Firefox 3, a new front-end for the package manager, a better installer, and support for encrypted file systems.

Very easily.

I'm assuming you have Windows installed already?
If so, download the LiveCD (.iso) from the website, and use a program like Nero or something to burn it to a CD. You have to burn it as a bootable CD, which Windows can't do on it's own. Pretty much any CD burning utility other than the standard Windows one will do this.

Then defrag your harddrive.

Put the CD in, and restart the computer. You might have to change the boot order in the BIOS if it doesn't start loading the CD.

Once the CD boots up you'll have a desktop and you can try everything out. Click the install icon when you're ready, and the installer will walk you through it.
When it comes to partitioning tell it to shrink the existing partition and install on the free space.

If any of this doesn't work or you need more help, send me an IM and I can explain it better.

I haven't had any problems with it.

KDE 4 is buggy as hell though. The panel in this release is so messed up for me it's almost unusable
