Well, for better or worse, Windows 8 is out....I have had the chance to play with both laptops and desktops (new) loaded with Win 8. My impressions are more positive than I expected, as I found the new Sony Win 8 laptops (VERY sexy!!!) with touch screens to be the best usage of the Metro interface. Though minus the ubiquitous Start button you can still return to a Win 7 style UI and it is VERY easy to switch between UI's.... On non-touch screens (laptops especially) I did not like trying to navigate Metro with the laptop's touch pad (actually, I despise all laptop touch pads).....using a USB/Bluetooth/wireless mouse on a Win 8 desktop/laptop created a quicker experience and seems MUCH better. It would be easy to clean up significantly the Metro UI as what the manufacturers load up is a lot of garbage....and despite what the doomsayers offer, one does NOT need to be a super geek to learn the interface. I feel that I could become quite comfortable with the Win 8 environment rather quickly. I also suspect that by summer of 2013, touch screens will be more common (and less pricey) so that Win 8 should be more appealing...I will likely upgrade the to Win 8 the same way I upgraded from Vista to Win 7...wait for SP1 to come out....And no, I could care less about Ubuntu/Linux...and I am not an Apple fan Cheers,
Can't say if W8 is GR8, but cNet's initial impressions are positive... Microsoft Windows 8 Review - Watch CNET's Video Review
