First of all Desktop looks clutter free and desktop traditional ways of displaying icons over desktops has also been omitted or rather can be said as given a new style. Another change is the style of Start menu and taskbar which becomes invisible and only hovers over when the curser is pointed out. (Of course I believe for traditional style lovers Microsoft would give some customization options).
