Windows 8 Launch (Customer Preview) On 29 February - Devs Ready?

With the upcoming customer preview launch of the next operating system from Microsoft, I'm quite sure the developer community is getting ready to try out the next from Redmond giant. It would be interesting to hear from the developers what are the changes or updates Microsoft is offering to the new OS to make it more developer friendly? Has anyone downloaded it?

    The best thing I've seen is the awesome boot time. 8 Seconds is impressive! I'm sure Windows is learning a lot from OSX πŸ˜›

    Correction: Learning a lot or copying a lot? Did you notice the Libraries, Docked Taskbar Icons, etc???
