After several weeks with this Windows 8 I quit. Even with the tips to bypass and alter Metro and even with the very slight boot increase, I truly see no benefit to upgrading to the RTM version after seeing and experiencing what I have, nor do I envision any business adopting this OS.
This reminds me of how hard it was to take the leap from XP to Vista, except instead of going to a more advanced "looking" system I'm going for a kindergarten variety.
Microsoft…. Windows 8 at this point is an Epic Fail. When you come out with a non-Metro version that is more refined I will give it another shot but as of now this is just not for me or my business.
