I am now almost 2 months in to Windows 8. This is my review.
If you like Windows 7, install
Start8 for Windows® 8 - Bringing back the Windows Start menu and use it exactly like Windows 7. There is almost no difference in the day to day.
You have some new toch style menus, but all in all it's pretty much the same.
I'm interested to try out a Windows 8 tablet for a bit. Being able to have a tablet that functions like a tablet, but a pc when docked would be pretty slick I think.
Wish one of the linux distros would follow MS on the flat look, very nice.
