Thanks for chiming in - I'd really like to hear you're analysis after you'd spent some time with this!
Sounds like you're a real tech-savvy guy with the upgrades.
Any cool games yet?

I just followed a video Atari posted on Youtube, and it was fairly easy.. I put a 1TB M.2 drive, and 32gb of ram in today. The next step is partitioning the drive. I'll use half for Windows 10, and the other half as storage for AtariOS.
I have Atari Vaults 1 (with comes per-installed for free), and I paid $4.99 for Vol 2. Vol 2 is interesting, because it has some Atari 5200 games. Antstream Arcade comes pre-installed as well. I'm mostly playing the arcade version of Mat Mania Challenge. I have fond memories of the arcade game, and the 7800 version really sucks, so it's nice to have the option.It also has odd 7800 games available. So far, Antstream is available for free.
I downloaded an app called Airconsole, and my wife and I played a trivia game on it. It seems like it would be fun at parties.
One game that I'll definitely buy is Spirit of the Samurai, when it comes out:

There's definitely not a lot (or any) exclusives on the system. I don't do any gaming on my Mac, so the VCS is the first console I bought in years. It's definitely the most modern that I own (unless you count my Apple TV), so these are my first experiences with the Vaults and Antstream.
