You are correct. I would rather go with the one in Windows 9 Technical Preview build 9834 still. To get the utilities and the power button is as simple as reading ABC. Those who disagree with Windows 8 might likely do the same because of complacency. All that is needed is to right-click on the Start menu. That makes sense as long as they are still required to do that in the one you claimed to be well polished(the one that embraces the classic Windows). In comparison, I see the the Windows 9 Start menu to be more presentable - it gives people both options to either use the power button at the top of the list or right-click Start menu to make use of it among utilities on the list. Instead of having the classic icons there is metro tiles displayed on the right-hand side of it and it continues to spread as it is populated with metro tiles to give that modern UI feelings at the desktop environment. I think there is more to it than meet the eyes in that regard.
That is a good idea. I would love it to be Windows 9 themes supposedly doing that than providing a separate feature for it.

It's the first time in a decade that we got "screenshot leaks" only even 2 weeks before the DP launch! Let's hope Windows 9 is worth waiting for
... well most of the leakers have been Russian. I'm not gonna start that whole thing again, but I will say that it's not really worth it to leak something like this. We'll get it eventually and it's not the kind of project that will work out of the box without some patching support on MS's end.
If the new upgrades in Threshold anything like the systems they used for dogfeeding before, then the new upgrade experience will be as streamlined as on OSX.
I use VHD boot sometimes, but the problem with it is that you can not run your main system and your testing system simultaneously. That is the biggest drawback for a lot of people I think, but the performance is indeed much much better
