Well, so far I am liking Windows 8, especially its built in multi-monitor taskbar, ability to mount and browse ISO files, and the fact that is absolutely blazing fast! I am NEVER going back to Windows 7.

:doh: 2.0.82.7292 SP6a
It's a little faster to boot and does have a built-in iso mounter so I do not have to use a free external utility for that. I also like the ribbon on explorer. However in desktop mode I certainly miss Aero. Having to deal with an ugly desktop all the time does not make this an upgrade for me..

Is this something like Leslie Nielsen or something else (I know, it is a country too).

Your signature line made me :laugh: !

Add to it Built In Hyper-V - indispensable for development. I am still not crazy about the UI but the rest of the things are neat.

Only every other Thursday when wearing Gaberdine. It's Elephant and Castle otherwise.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

I can now increase my "people who actually like Windows 8" counter to 2. I'm still not convinced.

I've used it for several hours and it sucks, mightily. I am staying with Windows 7 until at least Windows 9. ;)

Settign the explorer ribbon to autohide gives me exactly as much menu as I need, but that's because I rarely venture there anyway.

It's mentioned often, but it's the one thing I actually miss least. Getting away from those backlighted 3D rendered mushy color blobs that are supposed to be icons only bigger alone would suffice. Getting rid of UI elements that don't show their state clearly for fear of breaking the visual self-service certainly is a nice bonus (pushbutton style checkboxes, I'd be looking at you now). Having a desktop no longer screaming at me "Look! I'm a title bar! And I'm a button! You like my shade? Do you, punk?" has a certain appeal, too. Generally, I'm happy that we are back at a form-follows-function-instead-of-jobs style, and there's more visual room for the content to stand out from the frame. (Yes, I like Office 2013. Hit me.) Apaprently, my definition of ugly is completely different from yours.

Well, I hope you like the machine it's installed on, because you're not allowed to transfer the license to a different machine.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I also like Office 2013, but I got the Office 365 license, so I can install it on 5 machines and transfer licenses any time I want. I've only got it on 2 machines right now.
