I just installed Windows 8 on this PC and it feels like the whole thing is turbocharged. Everything I do is slick and it feels like one click in Windows 8 is worth two in Windows 7. On the desktop the difference between this and the release candidate is staggering! It feels like they've released a service pack because 70% of my previous complaints with the UI and feel of the system as well as the app support have been sorted out.

So the final product of Windows 8 is much better than the beta of it? What did they fix?

They tweaked the interface so the 'hot corners' worked a lot better with a mouse. They made the whole system faster and they finally started to have a huge number of apps added to the Windows store. They just did a couple of basic tweaks which made the new features feel a lot more intuitive and easier to use with a mouse and keyboard. They also released a bunch of quite impressive updates to all the inbuilt apps like music, movies etc so they work a hell of a lot better.

Did they make the desktop app/part better? Like putting a start button in it?

Nope. But it doesn't take long to get used to it and it metro isn't as bad as people say.

I actually agree. Everyone else I know disagrees but that's because they can't stand change lol and learn a new way of doing something (for instance the easy to get to search button makes the whole start button rather irrelevant but for some reason they just can't accept that).
