I'm writing this from win8 on laptop right now. After 3 days of using it I'm finding it very usable. I spend most of my time on the desktop but I have the metro remote desktop pinned on the left and I'm watching my build go by. Switching back and forth is easy and nice. When I need to run a new app I just hit Win then type whatever I want: Win->"notepad" boom, notpad pops up. It actually feels faster than the start menu in win7 too. You just have to get a little more keyboard-centric and not rely on the mouse for everything, though you can still put your mouse in the corners and get all the menus you need.

Is it possible to disable the hot corners/replace their functionality with a keyboard shortcut?
There are a variety of keyboard shortcuts: http://win8review.com/2011/09/windows-8-shortcuts/
