I think i could do this in Windows 95
Now this is the sort of thing I want from Windows 8 not a UI I don't like!
Some of the background features (like this) of Windows 8 are really great, it's just a shame I won't feel the benefit of them until (maybe) Windows 9 because there's no way I'm going to upgrade to windows 8 with that Metro interface. Thought it might grow on me (eventually), but the more I've used it the worse it feels.

Only thing that's worrying me is that with all this clever "behind the scenes" going on, how much information is going to be presented to the user. Specifically, it's be nice if the system warned if it was having to do these "in flight" repairs too often since that'd be indicative of a disk failing - and it'd be very desirable to get advanced warning of that!
Hopefully it'll be cleverer than the disk monitoring on my Ubuntu 10.04 system - that complains about once a week about a disk failing, which turns out to be my RAID-1 array (which is fine whenever I've checked).

I want finger extensions ... then I can play this darned guitar properly!
I totally feel the same. There are some great looking features but the interface is beyond horrid. I for sure will be sticking with Win7 unless they give user the option to turn metro off and have a default windows UI.
I want the Windows 95 Scandisk back which was in DOS mode.
Now there is a feature I have been waiting for! Absolutely amazing, deffo getting Windows 8 now...
Imagine enhanced checkdisk and a Metro interface? Pure awesomeness

I know that.My point was that while it's nice to have the OS make these kind of repairs "on the fly", I'm less impressed if that's also (inadvertently?) squelching information that the user needs to know.
Given you're an Apple-Picker I'm guessing that you're being sarcastic with that comment...Now there is a feature I have been waiting for! Absolutely amazing, deffo getting Windows 8 now...

Not at all. Not sure where you got the Apple label from though, I'm all about Microsoft - that's what I do for living.Given you're an Apple-Picker I'm guessing that you're being sarcastic with that comment...
