    Its a Preview Dev, there are others changes and optmizations here and there, plus some very neat management tools (check new task manager).

    W8 is all about "being connected", they want to sync PC>Tablet>Phone all as one (and eventually Xbox)

    Other than that, it has no major improvements especially not for games, there will be no DX upgrades or any better libraries.

    Windows 8 is mostly a media upgrade. It's technical improvements are very minimal at best and I am just going to skip to Windows 9.

    Which comes back to "minimal", these numbers are only by a few seconds. I won't spend 200+ dollars on an OS that is only a few seconds faster. It also hasn't shown gaming improvements either, unless I missed it.

    Of course there will be improvements over Windows 7, that is a no brainer, but is the upgrade significant enough to make me want to upgrade? In my opinion, no. Vista > Windows 7 was a dramatic OS upgrade. When Windows does something like that again, I will upgrade.

    I wouldn't call improvement brought by wddm 1.2 "very minimal".
