My conclusion?

A fine upgrade for a desktop machine, as long as you spend the $4.99 on Start8 and set it to automatically go to desktop mode on startup. It's just a better Win7 - same user interface, with some improved tools. I hear it's also faster, but my new machine is much, much (much) more capable than my old, so I can't compare. I suspect Start8, or similar functionality, will be in SP1.
I should have figured MS would take a little while longer to come to this realization, but it sounds like they are finally there.

We're always early adopters and our latest round of machines is Win8. Mine's due for replacement in May, so it looks like perfect timing for this fix, for me.
