Upside is its fast as lightning, hopefully staying that way when the updates come.

Sounds like you are having a better experience than me. I haven't used it on a hard machine yet, though.

I sorely miss the Start button. I would expect someone to make a utility to replace the Start button if MS doesn't. It's great when you have a lot of apps installed, so you don't have to see every icon on the shortcut bar or desktop.

Has MS never heard of the phrase "if it isn't broke, don't fix it?" It just seems like a big mistake. You may not use it 95% of the time (I'm paraphrasing their justification), but that 5% REALLY stings.
