The things I mainly like are Speakable Items and Platinum Sounds. Maybe it
comes from being a Knight Rider fan (so much so I'm converting my '83
Firebird into KITT), but I just really like being able to open programs and
things by voice. As for Platinum sounds, it's kinda silly I suppose, but I
like having audio feedback on what I'm doing.
Beyond that, it's more just the little things like Monitors & Sound and
such. Running Disk First Aid after a crash has saved me time (With the 8.1
version you had to start up on another disk to repair, which was a pain on a
duo) I suppose there's no really good reason in particular ;)
As for bad things, I haven't really run into any. It is maybe a bit slower,
and it does use more memory, so you'll need more. It's a great exercize in
trimming System Folders down :)
