Windows 7 does not do everything for me. There are some nice things I've seen in Windows 8 I'd like to have. So it's kinda heart breaking that I haven't been able to like the UI yet (spent a few weeks trying too).

Out of curiosity, what do you miss in Windows 7?

Windows 8 fixes the bug in Windows Explorer with how folders on the left pane expand. For example with Windows 7, if you have a long list of folders in the left Explorer pane and expand a folder, that folder drops to the bottom of the left pane and all it's contents are hidden below forcing you to scroll up to see the contents.
Another is the improved task manager and file transfer windows.

Fair enough  not really worth changing OS to me.
And Supercopier > Windows 8 for file copies

I've played with win8 on a core i5 tablet, and I must say, it works pretty well in that environment. If they can get something like Apples magic track pad going, I could see Win8 working well. Also, it will be interesting to see how third parties integrate into the UI. I have the consumer release on my laptop and so far it isn't too bad. I even gave the LT to my mother to use for a bit and she picked right up with it with only a bit of help out of the gate.

Currently in the MMO unemployment line.
Can I get $15/month for not playing them?

If I end up getting a Win8 Tablet I would switch my desktop over as well just for uniformity.....that is the only reason I can see to upgrade at this point.

Sticking with Win 7 on all of my computers, simply no compelling reason to switch.
As my iPad serves all of my tablet needs, I am not interested in a Win 8 tablet (where I expect it will make a more dramatic presentation) so this looks to make yet another case of the "every other OS version" MS has become famous for.

I'm sure I'll load a copy on one of my machines, but I doubt I will do a uniform upgrade across the board.
