I upgraded to Windows 8 for the $15 offer.

With one simple change, it is working great:

“Classic Start” skips the lock and metro screens, taking you straight to desktop on boot. Provides a classic start menu also.

I have yet to use metro for anything, I’ll try it later.

I heard metro is best for touch... interested to hear your opinion.

Snagged the $40 upgrade for “everyone” a few days ago.

It’s stable and fast.

I know change is hard, but this thing really works quite well. Absolutely everything I was doing on 7, works on 8.

The interface is a little different. Not bad, just different. Change can be hard, but this isn’t a bad one. If we want interoperability between all of our computing devices, this is it.

This thing is no Vista. Under the hood it’s a software masterpiece. From a technical standpoint it may be even better than 7.
