"Windows 8 Preview Beats Windows 7 in Most Performance Tests
A desktop running Windows 8 Consumer Preview started up faster and generally ran faster than the same desktop running Windows 7.

Windows 8‘s Metro interface may be controversial, but it looks like few PC users will complain about the new operating system’s performance. The PCWorld Labs put the Consumer Preview of Windows 8 through a battery of tests and found it generally faster—sometimes a lot faster—than Windows 7.
Our test system running Windows 8 Consumer Preview started up faster, ran through our WorldBench 7 benchmark faster, and showed superior performance when browsing the Web, compared with the same system running Windows 7. In only one major test, our office productivity measure, did Windows 8 lag behind Windows 7 performance.
Obviously, these results are far from definitive, since they’re based on a preview rather than on the final version of the new operating system. But once Windows 8 is finally released, it is entirely possible that the performance will improve, since we had to use drivers that weren’t yet tweaked for Windows 8."

There's a long, narrow road ahead for Windows 8, and the Release Preview hasn't gone as far down the path as we were hoping. Here:http://reviews.cnet.com/windows-8-review/
Or this, As you can probably tell, I hate Windows 8 a lot. For the average, somewhat proficient user, Windows 8 hides all the things that makes Windows 7 so useful. Windows 8 seems to be designed specifically for tablets, for which it will be a great OS. However, for those of us who want to use computers to make documents, presentations, spreadsheets and graphic editing, Windows 8 will annoy us to no end.

So I'm thankful to those FReepers who have actually used it and describe it here. As you can see, you can post a review saying anything.
