Really you think so? I upgraded, the upgrade went well - until that is Windows decided to do an update. The update never completed, got stuck on 13% and never recovered after that, the whole install was trashed. This is the first time ever I have had such a catastrophic problem following a new Windows install and I go back to 3.1. I am now back using Windows 7 and that's how it's going to stay. All Windows 8 does for the Desktop is complicate an OS that didn't need messing with in the first place. The Metro interface for Desktops simply adds an unnecessary layer of complexity.
BTW do a search on the 13% issue and you will find lots of folk having the same problem, many on brand new hardware. It's Vista MK2.
Oh and before anyone says otherwise, I love change hence why I installed it. However, not all change is for the better and W8 for non-touch Desktops is not a step forward. Thank goodness I still have OS X.
