As a bunch of us just got the retail Win8 Pro version off of TechNet, good time to start a discussion of what actually is there vs. what was rumored.
1. Aero IS gone.
2. Gadgets ARE gone.
3. Windows store has a lot more stuff. I don't see anything that smacks of payment yet.
4. As rumored, Games for Windows is being directly linked to my XBox account. No wonder Valve/Steam is upset over Win8.
