I want the copy functionality to tell me about conflicts right away, rather than when it starts copying that file. I also want it to continue the non-conflicting files while I'm deciding.

I cannot tell from the video whether Windows 8 does this or not.

That's the big point. The most serious usability flaw is when doing a large copy, and every single file with a permissions issue requires user intervention to make the copy continue. Keep a running list of problem files, and let me peruse them at my leisure - keep copying the rest.

I also want it to continue the non-conflicting files while I'm deciding.

Windows 7 does it, so I imagine it wouldn't regress in Windows 8.
