Sager/ Clevo Windows 8 Users - How do you like it so far?

I'm curious how users are reacting to Windows 8 on their Sager and Clevo machines. Most users of these machines are used by power users or those that want best gaming performance. Curious to see how this crowd is taking to Windows 8?

 

very smooth, very fast, very stable so far (4 months and running). just three lil things bothering me, that i corrected post-haste:

- missing start button, solved by start8 (5 bucks)
- direct boot to regular desktop - solved by start8
- driver signature enforcement disable whenever i wanna install any unofficial/beta drivers (extra reboot needed)

admittedly, these are very minor and fixable "issues". im very happy and not looking back to win7.

one more thing ive noticed, which will probably be fixed/improved in the near future: benchmarking scores, especially physics/cpu related are significantly lower in win8. i noticed that the os is somehow holding back the cpu when it comes to turbo-boosting. would need more info/input on this from other users tho.

Win 8 + UEFI Secure Boot + StartIsBack = awesome.
