Windows 8 features

It seems that Windows 8 is poised for release in fall of this year or early 2013.  Some of it's key features include: 

1.  A cold boot/hibernation hybrid that results in extremely fast boot times.  The boot screen has been removed.  Video

2.  An install process with 82% fewer clicks than Windows 7.

3.  The ability to 'clean install' without the need to back up data first.

4.  Simplified Task Manager (I'm skeptical).  Screenshots

5.  Native USB 3.0 support.

I'm not sure if the new 'clean install' will have the option to keep specified programs intact, but there have been rumors of it.  Either way, it will certainly increase the number of computer repairs that can be done in the field.
