Glad to hear that Sanjeev. I, as well, see no big reason to go to Win 8. I have been using it on my computer for a month now. There are about six or more 3rd party start menus, which basically turns your desktop into a real desktop.
After that, you can use Win 8 as if it is Win 7 and never know the Start Page is behind the desktop. It is pretty cool to use the Windows button to get to the Start Menu and then use the Enter key to get back. So, you can go back and forth in less than a second. And, when you log in, it logs into your desktop so you don't know you have the Metro UI screen. When used this way, one can always tap the Windows button and be able to use anything on the Metro UI such as the Windows store and Skydrive. The Metro UI page is where it has BLAZING speed. The "browser" or whatever opens in a split second. I do like the browser, because they are sort of like a portal. Clicking on a tile takes you to a sports story, which you can scroll horizontally, but it also has ten other squares with interesting stories, which is either good or a time waster.
I still think I will go with Win 7 for my computers and likely change this one back. I can't see any company using it. But, this may be the Vista of Win 8, and Win 9 will take it and run.
I have never seen so many Microsoft and Windows bloggers talk bad about an operating system and try to play up the good parts. Paul Thurrott's blogs tout it pretty well. If you spend a few hours or more reading these, most have a Top 10 list of how to use it better.
I read the link that James listed. I can't believe anyone would go through those steps when you can simply connect using the manual method.
Networking is the same. The one very, very weird thing that I wonder if anyone has experienced is the following:
I have Win 8 set up and I log into it with my username and password. This brings me to my account that I set up when I was installing it. If I log into any computer, I go to my account. If another user logs into this computer, it sets up an account for them. So, so far, it is the same as always. But, I can't save credentials when using RDP on my network. But, stranger than that, and very frustrating is if I remote into Win 8 from home using my username and password, it creates an entirely new account, and I can't get into my account without using the admin account or changing my password using Microsoft's code number to phone.
