There are already three posts showing a simple (all components on one server) screenshot install. The big thing I am seeing from these is that there are new prerequisites which need to be checked and installed.

There is a bunch of useful information as usual from Kevin Holman
And Graham Davies (MVP) has setup a new blog to deal with OpsMgr 2012 posts – http://www.systemcentersolutions.com/2011/07/whats-new-in-scom-2012/
Some nice snippets of information.
There is a lot if useful information in the docs from the download.
- Quick Start Guide – 62 pages
- Deployment Guide – 104 pages
- Operations Guide – 305 pages
- Supported Configurations – 19 pages
- Release notes
Plenty to read and it is needed as the requirements for SQL and Windows to install 2012 on is much higher.
