10.8.3 takes forever to partition 3 TB (non-fusion) drive ... 3 hours so far and still stuck at about 75% complete???

Still no hot plug for Thunderbolt in Boot Camp. I use a Thunderbolt monitor and have to restart my computer just before a meeting. Portability is an issue.

I updated to this Windows 8 friendly version of OS X and it still won't install Windows 8 properly through Boot Camp. The Windows 8 installer won't proceed because there is a USB drive installed, yet my rMBP has to rely on USB to install Windows. Not sure how they deem this version of OS X compatible with Windows 8 because it is not working correctly for me.

I've been running OSX and Windows 8 on my 2011 MBP since Windows 8 released without any problem. it's much easier if you use a 3rd party bootable cd/usb to boot up then choose windows 8 installation disc/usb
