Why take the start button away? and why replace it with metros.... anything with metro in the name is obliviously a bad thing.

If i wanted a super OS I would go out and buy lion.... or snow lion... or super mountain lion... whatever their up-to now.

You don't lose any of the power that you had in previous versions of Windows. The Start Menu has been replaced by the "Modern" interface. They don't call it Metro anymore.

If people think clicking the Start button and scrolling and browsing through the menu is power use they are sadly mistaken. For the last two Windows generations, Microsoft has been trying to get users to use the search feature. Hit the Windows key and type what you want to launch. Need to use the Run feature? Windows key+R.

Windows 8 is a decent OS. It boots faster than 7, and is generally much snappier.

The problem with Cliffs of Dover I have found seems to be an incompatibility between the modules in COD written in .NET 4 and Windows 8's integrated .NET 4.5 implementation. Either 1C needs to release a patch for those modules or Microsoft needs to implement some backwards compatible code in 4.5 that would fix the problem.
