Been using Windows 8 since the development preview and I must say the Release Preview is really nice! Esp. with the Server 2012 admin tools, sweet.

Is it true they really took of windows aero??
From the comments form my friends who have tried it out, they say it is a operating system targeted for tablets and fails in terms of a PC operating system. Please tell me they are wrong

1) People did not intuitively know about "double-clicking before Windows 95.
2) People complained about the lack of Program Manager in Windows 95
3) People complained about HAVING the Start Menu in WIndows 98
4) People complained about the "preschool" look of Windows XP.
5) People complained about the Start Menu changing in Windows Vista.
6) People complained about the lack of pop-overs in the Start Menu in Windows 7.
Moral of the story? People will always complain about everything. But as long as your computer doesn't run any slower and actually provides benefits to a large number of users, people will adapt and change.

The "normal" start button is still there, you can activate it easy... more here http://www.howtogeek.com/107711/how-to-get-the-classic-start-menu-back-in-windows-8/
Whenever Microsoft changed the UI before (which I've embraced), they gave people the option to revert back to the way it was for the people who didn't like it. That's the thing I've always liked about Microsoft. "Here's the new stuff, and here's how to get the old stuff back if you don't like it." No need for third party apps.
