Windows 8 has the ability to resize the partition it is installed on.
This can come in handy since most computer manufactures completely hose the drive partition structure.
In addition I always recommend moving Libraries off the OS partition. For single disk system this step is required to do that.

I’ve started work on the Windows 8 Tweak Guide

December 30, 2012, 10:32(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Windows 8 has proven to be, well, um, lets just say it has gotten mixed reviews. 😉
I really wasn’t sure if I was going to do a Windows 8 Tweak Guide. But, so many folks asked for one I’ve decided to go ahead with it.
I’m about 20+ hours of work and 21 pages in so it will be a few weeks.
Notes:
If you have any tips or suggestions please send them in.
Yes, I’m using Windows 8 as my main desktop (and it is now running on 4 of my computers).
Yes, I like it.
And yes, IMHO better than Windows 7*. But, it takes some getting used to and tweaking.
*(That doesn’t mean I’m 100% satisfied with it.)
