Yeah it flies on my quad core phenom 2 htpc. I enjoyed it so much on my desktop I went straight to my htpc and installed it there az well. Overall the desktop experience is great and metro is pretty slick as well. I don't see why all the tech sites are moaning about it its almost like hubris because their main problems are that it's new and puts them on a level playing field with regular people.

I think they've stopped bitching for the most part. While the betas and previews were out, there was a lot of bitching though, especially from the power users.

One thing I discovered yesterday which probably contributed to power users calming down... If you mouse in to the bottom left corner so that the metro/desktop pops up and right click, you get most of the power user options which were scattered all over the place in Windows 7. At this point Windows 8 is faster to navigate than Win 7 in pretty much every way.

whoa this ia so neat! I was so clumsy for me since I have to go through the Charms menu all the time...
