How does your desktop look like?
[MiA]Raj:
that's Rainmeter. Quite a resource hog.
Veica:
It is, but Rainmeter is by far the best Windows-compatible program I've found to date :)

My MAC laptop

Just tried Windows 8 consumer preview on my virtual machine.
New features like the option to open the cmd from the directory you are in with the explorer.
But that's all about the improvements...
The start menu is one of this very modern kind. Looks like all try to copy apple and their iphone.
Well, that's ok in this case, but what really sucks is the task manager: it only tells you which apps are running. Also you can only shutdown the computer with [ctrl]+[alt]+[del].
Solitaire is sorted under xbox live and only runs in fullscreen mode xD
And at last the driver support: I could even not access my network because of a missing driver.
PS: the desktop mode looks like Windows 7
Veica:
My biggest problem with Windows 8 is the new Metro GUI. It's flat and boxy, while the Aero shell is glossy and rounded. It just doesn't blend and it looks rather... ugly.
It's performance doesn't bother me as much, I know it'll get hacked and modded to perform like in the days of old eventually :P
