More a list of killer features that are a big improvement over windows 7. I loved windows 7 and hats the idea of win8 and struggled with it to begin with but it's better in many ways..
1. Super fast boot. My PC starts up in about 12 seconds and the sleep mode is instant to resume. Very handy!
2. IMPROVEMENT TO FILE TRANSFER! Sorry it's in caps but its about bloody time! I have often been transferring large files and then needed to quickly move a smaller file to a USB. I love you can now pause and resume as you need.
3. Metro apps. People might disagree but I like the location services and smart tiles. Especially with a dual screen setup
4. Better driver support. I didn't need to install any hardware drivers at all for my custom built PC. Compare that to Win7 fatally crashing because I installed graphics drivers before a windows update..
5. It's faster and less resource hungry, it makes a difference even to powerful pc's
