Here is the thing. I have absolutely no clue how Windows 8 is going to benefit me over my current Windows 7.

I figure it will be faster and it has that Metro UI, but honestly all of my needs are met by windows 7, so why would I drop money on what (I as a consumer see) as a marginal upgrade.

Normally, a Windows upgrade would mean new features for applications.  Thus, a need for an upgrade.  The problem with Windows 8 is that all the major benefits of the new platform are for Metro applications.  Otherwise there aren't a lot of major enhancements that users will be amazed by.

Having said that...there are some nifty features to Windows 8.
