Windows 8 looks good on a surface tablet, but i don't see me using it on my PC, when windows 7 is fine as it is

Windows 7 is just too good :p

Sad part is there is nothing really wrong with 8. Just nothing to make anyone want to get it. Simply too soon and following a really solid win7.

They should have just focused on a new mobile OS and an overall upgrade to win7 that allowed the strong inter-connectivity for free on top of win7. Part of a normal patch/upgrade to the OS.

This way the desktop and laptop could stick with what works and then been easily and immediately upgraded to utilize the new Windows Store, Live, and mobile OS integration while the mobile OS saw the large upgrade to a new version with some different name entirely.

I guess making it a $40 upgrade was a good start, but they really shouldn't be forcing a touch UI on a keyboard/mouse dominate system. Should be defaulting to the "normal" UI and only have that as an option to turn on for those who like it better.

The Surface Pro will actually create an uptick in Windows 8 sales.  Also, you won't see corporate spending increase until the second quarter.  There was too much economic uncertainty that fade by Summer.  Corporations still aren't interested in Windows 8 for a corporate rollout, but the use of Windows 8 devices, especially Surface Pro tablets will.  Once business minded people get their hands on the Surface Pro, enthusiasm for Windows 8 will quickly increase.

As derided as Windows 8 is, the Surface Pro packs an Ultralite laptop into the size of a tablet giving corporate users a compact device that allows them to have an easy to use tablet while also featuring a powerful computer capable of doing any business tasks necessary. 

I upgraded a few days ago. I'm liking it so far. My only concerns is that they need to integrate windowed programs instead of throwing the OS into the desktop. It's inconvenient.

The irony is when the Rainmeter guys made a Windows 8/Metro style, it's actually a whole lot better then the actual Metro system.

They still have Windows 7 so no harm really.

Just wait on this one. Windows 8 is a MUCH friendlier virtualized OS than Windows 7.

All machines that I need to upgrade > XP, are going to go to Windows 8.

Hell, Server 2008 R2 is a better virtualized OS than Windows 7.

I upgraded my desktop..big mistake. It's fine on a tablet and on my phone but it's a disaster on my desktop.

Oh suck it up big boy. Install Classic Shell if you're really feeling blue cause you lost your start button.

Talk about 1st world problems...
