The so-called "hot corners" feature is part of Windows 8's Metro UI and you
may be able to disable it in Display Properties. The last time I checked, there was almost developer information available regarding its API.
From a developer's point of view, it's worth remembering that Windows 8 is very much a "work-in-progress" and any specific Windows 8 changes made at this stage could well be broken when the release version becomes available later this year.
From a personal perspective, Windows 8 offers nothing new for me but it might if I were a tablet/mobile user as Metro has been specifically engineered for that growing market. But beneath the hood, there's precious little difference between it and Windows 7 - the core operating system is 99.9% the same. For that reason, Corporate users will probably not be in any hurry to upgrade their PCs - many of them skipped Windows Vista and went straight from XP to Windows 7; there are, however, many corporates still using XP (much to Microsoft's chagrin). (
Mind you, I rarely run Windows natively these days, preferring Linux, and when I do so, it's in a Virtual Machine - and yes, with Dexpot!)
