While I do like the RT device, it wont have the desktop. So yeah, Go Pro.
Outside of that.. I like all of the features. Even the "Dont-Call-It-Metro" Modern UI.

No offence, but the $199 price for Windows RT is not a feature, it's the price of the Surface RT tablet. I don't see how the price of a product running Windows 8 can be considered a feature of Windows 8.

LOL. Well actually, restart is a bit more helpful for me so I can boot into my Windows 7 partition.

I like all of the new features! People need to stop hating on Windows 8 - it is a great OS, we just need to give it some time, plus, Microsoft is working on updating it right now. One year from now, Windows 8 may not be what we know.

No offence, but the $199 price for Windows RT is not a feature, it's the price of the Surface RT tablet. I don't see how the price of a product running Windows 8 can be considered a feature of Windows 8.

I think that poll option is mislabelled, it should be something like "cheaper Windows devices!" :D

I do admire your dedication to windows 8 and I hope MS will make it work in the end. But windows 8 as it is now is a sub standard desktop OS, which does not deserve the name windows.

Contract would be one of the best features in Eight.

I do love the well-designed architecture in which various apps can talk and share information.
