Deltav: There are some improvements in performance, but anyone that has good quality hardware really won't see THAT much of a difference. Once you understand that the Start Menu is now a Start Screen.. easily toggled on or off with the Windows Key, everything else is normal.

For me, I've found the greatest benefit to be the independent task bars in a multi-monitor setup. Effectively, what you have open on Screen #1 is displayed only on that screen's taskbar, what you have opened on screen #2 is only on that screen's task bar (not the main monitor) and what's opened on screens 3 and 4, are limited to their respective screen's taskbars.

In this way, there is no longer any guessing as to what icon on the taskbar corresponds to the program and screen it is on. I can have three instances of FireFox for example.. all running independently on 3 different monitors and the taskbar for each screen only has the instance of FF running on it. No guesswork or having to look through grouped tab icons.

That's really the greatest benefit that I have found with it, and that alone was worth the upgrade for me as productivity was greatly increased as a result.
