Attended the FIRST Public Windows 8 Presentation The Reimagination of Windows 8 and Windows Server 12 from Joey (great job!) at ICNH.  Learned some awesome performance numbers for 2012.  Performance up to 1 Millions IOPS and IO can move 10GB file in 10 secs and future is bright just waiting on new faster hardware.
