I'd actually be one of those, myself. I spend by day buried in various server-consoles, network traffic-reports, Excel spreadsheets and a horde of other muppetry. With the ability to create my own start-page, like you can once Win8's beta actually gets here, I can have what I need at my fingertips, and I don't need to minimize anything to get hold of them. A which jab at the Windows-key gets me the startpage.

We'll have to see how the system works once the Beta gets here. I'll render my final judgement at it then.

I'm just interested in gaming performance really.I don't know why microsoft or someone else doesn't release a cut down gaming operating system you can have on a seperate partion or second drive or something.
