    We've been playing with Windows8 desktop dev today in the office and it's not too bad at all, I quite like the new flashy start menu. It'll be interesting to see what the final version is like.

    There's a topic on it here. Intriguing stuff.

    This topic is about the server edition, not the desktop one.
