The new task manager, the new file copy interface, and multi-channel SMB are
pretty swanky. Native 4k sector support, native multi-monitor taskbar,
Hyper-V in W8, SCSI Unmap, more intelligent thread scheduling for modern CPU
architectures, and a few other "under the covers" tweaks are nice too. I
wish they'd not limited LBFO to Server SKUs as a few 6-port NICs would have
been cheaper than my recent 10GbE upgrade.
The new main UI is atrocious, but becomes tolerable with a start menu
replacement. It's so bad that I still haven't upgraded my primary system to
it.

What does win8 do for me that win7 doesn't do?

Hello all,
Actually, if you do not have a touch screen or do not want the Metro to
come up
first there is an Application that will put you to the desktop and even
give you
a Star menu like Windows 7. The name of the App is called Start8 and it is
from
Stardock.
As for performance it runs very well, in fact it runs better than Windows
7.
Although the OS does not have the cool Areo like Windows 7 does. The
interface
is a little different.
I've been recommending Windows 8 with the Start8 app to everyone and I get
feedback and they say they love it.
Here's a Picture of my desktop with the Start8 app running:

LOL. I have been playing with it in a VM. It does take some getting
used
to on a PC (as in non-touch).

Hi Duncan,
I am running Win 7 Ultimate. I think I will probably move to Win 8 in
the
next month or two.
Yeah, quietness, coolness (as in temps), and my general trust of Asus is
what pushed me to that card.

I was hating on Windows 8 until I discovered http://startisback.com/,
