Just upgraded to Release Preview of
Windows 8 and apart from the usual start menu gripe, I'm quite impressed. It's
a lot smoother with a keyboard/mouse interface than the Consumer Preview, a big
step up from consumer preview.
IE10 is pretty much identical with Google Chrome. NICE.
A workaround for the lack of a start menu is to pin apps to the desktop taskbar, but obviously that will only work with a limited number of apps.
Thinking about it, the real problem is that items in the start page are no longer grouped and accessible via a menu system. The Start page quickly becomes unusable when one has to scroll forever TO FIND AN APP.

Adding a method of grouping will make this a
really nice OS. Let's hope that Microsoft does something about it.
