- Boot time and shutdown time is nearly instantaneous. Get an SSD. - Syncing my settings between home machine and work machine. Your work place lets you apply whatever random settings you want to your machine? Consider yourself lucky. - No more 3rd party antivirus. Windows Defender is also available for Windows 7. - Factory Reset (i.e Refresh)! My Tandy computer had this 15 years ago. - Native ISO support. :) About f'ing time. Is it as feature rich as Daemon Tools lite, or will I still need that installed? - The Task Manager is actually useful now. ;) Can't say this was ever an issue for me. What are you using Task Manager for except killing misbehaving processes? - Search functionality makes way more sense and is much faster. I've seen a lot of hate for the search "charm" - Keyboard shortcuts are so useful. You rarely need the mouse to get around the system and it's actually a faster way to navigate. How is this new to Win8? I've been able to use keyboard shortcuts for all navigation since v3.1 - Who needs a start menu when you have a nice small menu that has everything you need? You clearly use fewer apps than I do. - You can disable the Metro interface if you don't want to use it. I configure to boot right to the desktop. Great. Where's my Aero. - Windows To Go. If you want to use Win8 on your friend's slow Win7 machine, just plugin your flash drive and everything is compatible. ;) I have never once needed to do this, but then again, I don't have any friends. - Multi-monitor support is MUCH better! I do like being able to have my taskbar span multiple monitors. Too bad I've just got the one huge monitor now. - SkyDrive is seamless and very useful! You forgot to add that it's also cheaper than the competition. I thought I'd offer something a little positive over the average negative naysayer who's afraid of change. I moved to Windows 7 as soon as it came out, because of the obvious benefits over XP, so don't give me that "afraid of change" crap.
