Eh? It's my first response, hardly a broken record.
That it runs faster for you doesn't tell me anything. When I reinstall Windows everything runs a lot faster as well, untill a few months down the line. You can't really compare a Win7 install that you used for months to a fresh Win8 one.
As for the rubbish, I think that's a bit of a slight against the experts that go through the trouble of setting up test-beds, doing the legwork and writing several-page articles on the matter. These guys have forgotten more than you and me know combined.
At any rate, Tyrant makes a good point about the file transfer and task manager: much better. But beyond that there really isn't much; yes, virtualization is leaps ahead but hardly anyone uses that outside professional applications. Native trackpad is nice but again hardly anyone uses one of those on a desktop. With multi-core optimizations we're talking 2-10% at most, and only for applications that are actually heavily threaded (video&audio editing, archivers).
I understand Win8 Phone on a smartphone, I get RT on a tablet, Win8 makes sense on a laptop with a build-in touchscreen and multi-touch trackpad, but on a
desktop?
That's my point; why do we need to drag all that over to desktops? For example, what's the point of an "app" if you have proper applications and a browser?
