    I honestly like it. The only irritating factor is the redesigned start menu. You can restore the win7-style start menu by installing Start8. Overall, my system felt rejuvenated. My games ran about 10-15 frames higher.

    I dropped back to Win 7 since Win 8 was giving my GPU random crashes. I'd go back if I could find a fix.

Removal of ribbon system, dumbed down task manager, but the thing I hate the most is that I can't run any of my DAW software on it, and I have Studio grade software that the big producers use as well. I'm also not a personal fan of metro, the whole tablet look is an eye sore, but that's a personal opinion.

    Only thing I know is bad with Win8 is that most older software isn't compatible. You can search online to find a compatible installation and most programs have that.

    Can't you change the compatibility mode on almost all programs?

    I'm not saying it sucks, but I'm basing my opinion off Windows 8 Is A 'Catastrophe' According To Gabe Newell - Valve Hedging With Steam On Linux - Forbes

    I'm currently running Windows 8 Pro 32-bit and I love it. My system feels way smoother and more responsive. I love all the apps.

    Sure, I have not tried yet, but I've only heard that it's not as good as it should be.
    And I could compare it to the jump from XP to vista.. Vista blows.

    And this is pretty much the same thing so far.
    It's windows 7 with a retarded touch-overlay and it makes everything overly complicated.

    And so far it's not too good with games and have pretty bad driver support.

    Conclusion, it's windows 7 for people that want extra flashy stuff that really doesn't have a purpose.
