The way you can disable secure boot and then install Linux or Windows 7 over it, removing it from the hard disk, is pretty sweet. I can see how it could be kind of neat with a touchscreen, but the computer I just bought, which came with Windows 8, does not have a touchscreen, and it was hardly usable until I installed Windows 7.

boot up to Start screen, although i dont like Windows 8 i have to admit microsoft did make a smart move storing the kernel image on shut down which is why the boot up speed is insane. Now if only if linux could do that =)

The cloud calendar is nice! I also like the weather app, it even warned me today about the air pollution levels being a bit high. I won't be going outside now:)
