Cheers, and welcome to Windows 8.

I Would say its learning windows 8 is not that difficult since almost everything is same as windows 7 except for Metro and Storage space which i Am not sure what it is ? And For some reason windows 8 came with flash player pre-installed
See Screenshot

Mind you Windows Defender has a very slow time removing malware, one reason why I switched back to avast.

Here is all the applications installed on my laptop that I used to have. Note that no services tweaked, no startups edited yet nothing. Highest memory usage as you can see is not even ESET. all in all, thats the memory used. Once I trim it down, it will be less than 20, and I only have 6gb ram.

Yes i too had svchost.exe on my system all the time using between 150-250mbs
But i think You have too many Programs running in background since your task manager is showing 76 Processes which may be slowing down your laptop between i had only 59 processes Total with ESET , EAM , utorrent and with almost 10 processes of Comodo Dragon

EDIT :- ADDED Trustport Antivirus 2013 to Realtime Protection ( MUST say It has Improved a Lot Then 2012 version and now uses Three engine Trustport , Bitdefender and AVG ) Before it only used two engine Bitdefender and AVG

On my screenshot, I said I had everything loading with no tweaks or disabled stuff.

My dell does come with datasafe which I keep it running since it does update my factory os.
Bluetooth is a total of 3 processes.
Other stuff etc.

computer with all default stuff + all the programs installed is far from being slow. I know i got an i7 etc but still.

Obviously, once everything tweaked, it will go down dramatically but compared to before, I did not notice much of improvement or slowdown due to the speed of the system itself. Money well spent: Dell XPS 17 custom built

I didn't see this post.

Okay, so remember hearing about IE10 Metro (UI) not being able to run third-party extensions, it's because of the new Enhanced Protected Mode. (AFAIK, I think I'm correct).

IE10 Metro (UI) - Enhanced Protected Mode is ON by default
IE10 Desktop - Enhanced Protected Mode is OFF by default

No You are wrong
If you disable Enhanced protection mode in desktop it will be off in Metro as well if enabled in windows it will enabled in Metro as well
Just Try it if you are are not sure

As I do not have Java installed, can you show some screenshots of running Java in IE10 Metro (UI)?

IE10 Metro ensures an add-on free experience:

"Metro style Internet Explorer will run with Enhanced Protected Mode enabled at all times. For the desktop mode, users will have to enable it from Internet Options > advanced. Do note that incompatible add-ons will automatically be disabled. However, they can be enabled for specific websites when needed." - Source (dated: March 15th, 2012).

EDIT:
"On Windows 8, Metro-style IE’s tabs in the Internet and Restricted Zone run in Enhanced Protected mode, while tabs in other zones run in 64bit only. You cannot disable EPM for Metro-style IE except by turning off Protected Mode entirely.

By default, Desktop IE’s tabs run in the Low Integrity Protected Mode at 32bit. Only if you enable Enhanced Protected Mode using the Internet Options control panel will Desktop IE’s tabs run in AppContainer (and 64bit, if available)." - Source (#IE Tabs and AppContainer).

Just some info.
