'Why would anyone prefer it over Windows 7 on traditional PCs?'
1. Cause it's much better OS for HTPCs. I use my new Windows 8 PC with a Logitech remote. No keyboard or mouse necessary.
2. Because it's a much better multi monitor experience than Windows 7. Try it and you'll see why.
3. Faster, efficient, better battery life for laptops and other improvements.
4. And finally, because once you learn to use it properly, and learn the keyboard and mouse shortcuts, it blows Windows 7 out of the water for 95% of tasks. Wanna bet that I can launch CMD prompt, admin tools, disk management, regedit... in Windows 8 faster than you can in Windows 7? No desktop shortcuts...
Also, the mobile and desktop market are going to be the same thing in a few years. Unless microsoft does this, they are dead in the water...
