That's pretty weak for windows 8 but what reason is there to upgrade if your monitor don't have a touchscreen?

I upgraded because it was only £25, so I thought why not give it a go... It doesn't make much difference, but is probably slightly quicker and the searching stuff is pretty good

But essentially, it doesn't really have any impact at all, just a bit quicker, but not too noticable on a 6 month old high end PC

Yeah i tried it in PC world and i didn't really like it to be honest plus it felt strange using windows 8 with a mouse and keyboard, it's made for a touchscreen and you can really tell. I like windows 7 anyway. 

It works quite well with keyboard shortcuts seemingly improved from Win 7. Also, clicking in the corners can quickly swap between apps and go back to the start menu

My main issue is that I use 2 monitors and you can only use metro apps on one screen, it is kind of annoying... I can have the Netflix Win 8 app on one screen and then use chrome on the other, but the app can disapear sometimes if I open other Windows from the start bar, it is little confusing so I just generally stick to Netflix in chrome. The main useful thing is putting skype in a sidebar while using the rest of my screen works quite well
