comparing my windows 7 desktop running 8g of ram, i5 processor (3.0ghz quad core) with ss hard drive to my laptop running the same everything (except 2.7ghz quad core i5 and no solid state drive) the windows 8 machine seems quite a bit faster

Tons of features

Works just like windows 7

Works flawlessly on my tablet using splashtop

Dislikes:

The whole swipe to open random tool bars
Windows 8 has a stupid "charms bar" on the right side....there is a way to disable it but you would have to go into the registry and edit some stuff. A simple google for "disabling charms bar" will get you the results you need to "kind of" remove it".

If you run dual monitor or triple (I do for work and home) you will find that your mouse, if dragged near the top of the screen towards the right will get stuck on the edge of every screen connected. That was how you pulled up the charms bar, but the regedit simply just disables it from running but that function is still there.
