It's really, really awesome on a good touch screen. I'm planning on getting a portable all-in-one before the end of the year. Besides that, my wife has it on her 6 year old non-touch laptop and it runs a bit faster than 7 did on the same machine. She went with the Start8 app to add the option for the old-school start menu, but it ends up she uses the start screen too (she likes to pin her websites to it). Sleep mode and boot time are much faster, and it's lighter on RAM usage overall. Explorer is improved, network file transfer is a bit faster, and the copy progress window is much more informative - just for starters.
