My beloved XP computer died a few months ago and I *had* to go with the OEM Win8 install on a replacement pc. I managed to set everything up to work from the desktop (I don't care for "Metro"), and turned off the (to me) annoying "hotspots" and "snap-to-corner". But one thing I have not found a solution for is my *sticky* cursor behavior. Often when working near the bottom of the screen, the cursor will snag the thumbnail preview screens from the taskbar buttons, and bring that window to the top of the stack. So I am suddenly typing in the wrong window.

Other than that, I do like the Win8 stability and speed, and I really like that some of the little window manipulations can now be handled natively instead of with my old monster AutoHotkey script. (I still need that to right-click-drag to size and move windows, though.)

If only the cursor didn't get grabby...
