I would like to recommend an excellent book on installing, setting up, and tweaking Windows 8 from the point of view of the power user.
The title is 'Configure The Windows 8 "To Work" Options' by Noel Carboni of ProDigital Software.
Configure The Windows 8 "To Work" Options by Noel Carboni, ProDigital Software
Price is $4.99.
I have gone through it page by page and item by item. I knew quite a few of the things discussed, but I still learned quite a bit.
I'll attach screenshots of the chapter pages.
