I was going to install it, then I realized it would destroy my current windows partition.

I really need more partitions, because I don't want to bother with virtual machines.

Windows 8 cuts boot time dramatically � and I mean dramatically. Reports are that Windows 8 can cold boot in 8 seconds. I bet you�ll see �Windows 8 in 8 seconds� somewhere in an ad campaign.

tl;dr: 8 second boot, two choices of UI (Metro(loveual) or traditional), new sadface BSoD

Yeah, I breathed a sigh of relief too.

I like the even faster boot times, though. I put my laptop on hibernate because it somehow turns itself back on if I do standby, and 8 second boot with a traditional platter hard drive is amazing.
