Powered up, started setting up, Unchecked FileVault, click continue, and now I have spinning beach ball for 5 minutes so far. 
Not a good start.

there are threads all over, use the search. You either need to restart, wait 30 minutes, or not be connected to the internet during set up.

Some ppl on youtube said that it happened to them too. Wouldn't be too wrried about it.
Forced shutdown, restarted, and seems ok. Doing OS X update now. Just very windows-ish to lock up during setup. Apple should be better than that...
Like it but haven't really used it much yet. Will after update is done!

Ps I unchecked FileVault before it hung. But did have it on wifi. So it wasn't a FileVault setup issue.

IIRC, there is a post on the front page saying that e problem is on Apple's servers, not on the machine (and not FV).
Yes to both.
Remember that FV won't run on battery power (so, for example, if you leave the computer running overnight, but unplugged, FV won't continue encryption).
The best way to set it up is by not connecting to the internet during the main pages. It literally took me 10-20 seconds to be on the home screen. After that, I set up file vault and my iCloud account without problem.
