If you've been doing this for 15 years as you claim, this paragraph says to me that you have a long legacy of having not a sweet friggin' clue what you're talking about.
Windows 8.1 isn't at GA yet, but having dogfooded the 8.1 Preview and now on the 8.1 RTM on my work asset, I'm liking the changes. I have a touch-screen notebook so it wasn't a big deal to begin with and I've been using it on my dual-monitor desktop without any complaints, but the changes I have noticed in 8.1 are of the sort that make you go "Huh... yeah, that's a better way of doing that". I'm not finding much where I'm finding that the first (W8) implementation was better.
Being able to right-click the Start button and open an elevated Powershell is nice too.
