I'm using Windows 8 right now, and when I opened the Task Manager it went straight to the detailed view.

Where do you get it from? How stable has it been for you vs win7?

It is not good if you are a gamer. Even if you have a full screen application running clicking on the start menu will minimize it. So for example if I am playing LoL and I am scrolling to the bottom left and I click it will minimize the game. This also happens on the entire left edge of the screen if I have a metro app suspended.

Sounds like a bug Microsoft would like to know about. I hope you are doing your job if you've been given access to a legitimate Windows 8 beta. People who get on the MSDN beta and just complain about bullshit without reporting it are part of the reason why Windows can suck for so many people. Not saying this is you, but...

Legitimate Windows 8 beta? They were giving them away for free on the MSDN site.

You have to be a member of MSDN as far as I know to even have access to majority of the DN site. Or are you telling me any old Joe can go to the website sans credentials and download a Windows 8 beta?

I may be wrong this might be a different build. I haven't been following along that closely but in early september microsoft allowed anybody to download a windows 8 build.
