Resource usage, responsiveness. They did a lot of good under the hood work with it. Just metro ... make all the good will that would have been won go to waste.

To do that, they've been removing features:

Probably the only real performance hog here is the Aero Glass and maybe backup. I doubt that the other have any meaningful impact.

Yes I was so mad when Windows 8 came out because of Metro and I thought if they had just released something that looked like Windows 7 and said, "We made it leaner, we cut the boot time by 40%. Shutdown is faster too and we made over 200 smaller improvements to make things easier." I would have happily said, "Where do I buy?"

Two gripes: Task manager just sits there awkwardly before appearing. Event viewer takes like five seconds to even be usable.

They worked fine in Win2k; why are they so slow now?
