I'm pretty much with you on this one. The thing that impressed me the most was how much faaaaster 8 is compared to 7/XP (on the same spec h/w (I'm talking work desktops here). I just installed Classicshell to rid myself of the tile stuff as it's worthless in our environment.

Or installing a third party utility that acts as a start menu - I use classic shell (although I avoid their explorer windows - as usual choose your install options carefully). Then you get to have your cake and eat it.

yes, the addons do look nice. I haven't tried them yet, so far the custom toolbar + pinning stuff to the task bar has allowed me to pretty much completely avoid the start screen

That's not quite true. If you want to have your configuration backed up and be able to roam it, you need a Microsoft Account (formerly Live ID), which can use any email address (my MS account's email address is a gmail account, though I'm moving away from gmail at this point). And I know you can create accounts that are strictly local -- no need to sign in with your MS Account.

News reads: ...Mr O'Gorman was attacked following a row over the movement of a piece of a chessboard. Clearly must have been the knight, because the guy went over the top murdering his opponent

The perp also claims to have eaten the victims heart. According to a colleague one lung is reported missing in some of the pathology briefs.
I'm thinking he was going for the insanity defence, and not sure if there ever even was a chess game...
