Now that's an interesting point mentioned by Microsoft in the official announcement about improved file management in Windows 8:
Microsoft Official Video Shows Improved File Management UI in Windows 8
Microsoft mentioned at the end of above mentioned announcement:
Finally, in addition to these big improvements, we've also done a thorough scrub and removed many of the confirmation dialogs that you've told us are annoying or feel redundant (i.e. "are you sure you want to move this file to the recycle bin?" or "are you sure you want to merge these folders?") to create a quieter, less distracting experience.
It means when you delete a file in Windows 8, you'll not get a confirmation dialog box and it'll directly go to the Recycle Bin.
What if you accidentally pressed the DEL key and there are many other deleted files already lying in Recycle Bin? You'll have to open Recycle Bin, look for the accidentally deleted file and restore it. It'll become too much annoying in this case.
That's not a good move by Microsoft. Recycle Bin has always have an option in its Settings to enable / disable confirmation dialog box, then what's the need to turn it off by default? If a user wants to disable confirmation, he can simply disable the option using Recycle Bin Settings?
I hope Microsoft will not remove the option from Recycle Bin Settings in Windows 8. What do you think of this move by Microsoft?
Thanks to Softpedia for pointing it out...

I hope they do. The 'no conformation' is probably an ubuntu thing

The confirmation dialog box of file deletion is really important, but happy that there is a solution to this problem.

Hope they will keep the confirmation, because I want to make sure I am deleting the right file(s)

I agree with everyone who says this is a Ubuntu Linux move. I like how Ubuntu has the "Bypass the trash can" option. I know what I want to delete and what I want to keep. I rarely delete by accident. But this is a bad move by Microsoft, hopefully they will change it back to the way it was before and give users a choice.

Well, I do hope they implement this, since it would make for a more smooth UI experience- less modal dialogs.
However, they should have a non-modal notification (not in the notification area though, if they keep it intact) to let us know it's been done.

One of the first things I do after a fresh install is turn off the confirmation dialog.
Of Course...I also hold down the "shift" key every time I delete something...
