No, as a general rule always wait at least a year on a new OS. WIndows 7 is solid, why switch?

I'm in a good position to wait until next year, when I plan to get a new touchscreen laptop with the OS. I do wonder about something tho- will the ability to use the touchscreen extend to working with programs like Photoshop or MS Office? I haven't heard yet...

It's not too bad once you remove all the metro features. Not sure if it's worth the upgrade though...

I got it for $15 but didn't upgrade.
Figure for that price I'll just wait until they work out all the bugs first.

W8 is FAAAAAASSSSSSSTT By far this is the fastest OS (with a GUI) I have ever used. Server 2012 is the same.

Where did you grab it for $15? Buying a new PC?

In fact, on my test machine, Windows SEVEN was slightly faster. |

What Vid card is in that? or what is the model number if you don't mind me asking.

2 GB of Video Ram. It's a Dell Precision M4700. After having an XPS, I'll never have anything other than a Precision if I'm getting a Dell. This is my 3rd Precision. The XPS had a lot of nice consumer features, but it just wasn't built for someone with my usage profile.

This new Precision is loaded for bear... but I had to load it up to get to a price point where it qualified for .99% financing. It'll be in service for at least five years.
