    Going to give the metro shit a try tonight.

    Does it work well across multiple monitors?

    Yes it does. There is, for example, added support for multiple wallpapers (for each display).
    Also, I like how the taskbar spans across all screens, with some setting, showing icons for items currently opened on that specific screen :) Very convenient and clean.

    PS.
    Dexpot works perfectly fine on win8

    never cared much about that tbh. I just find wallpapers that are made for dual screens lol.

    I wonder if it would be worth it to purchase a touchscreen monitor when Win8 releases. Hmm...

    Personally, I think it would. It's clunky using it with a mouse and keyboard. I still hate how Windows 8 feels like two different operating systems. It's so confusing switching from regular windows to the metro-style.

    As that article describes ... Windows 8 is more like an OS for Alien mother ship than my good old Pentium 4. Solid state drive? Photon circuits? I couldn't even afford a normal SATA hard , how about Solid state drive xD And that's not just me , at least 70% of people don't care to buy a brand new PC each time they introduce new technologies.

    The Metro UI start menu is pissing me off. But I didn't like Aero couple years back.

    On other hand windows server 2012 looks decent in terms of interface
