Re: So... Win 8 is out

Upgraded main Wolfdale 3.6Ghz desktop from Win7 64 to Win8 Pro for $40 on 10/26. Getting it all situated this weekend. (media center addon is a free add-on till 1/2013).
No issues so far w/ any MAME/MESS emulation and compiling. I have a 28" and 32" monitors and I find the start screen works well over on the secondary monitor while retaining my desktop on the primary. Things do seem to be a bit 'perkier' moving around w/in the desktop. You can continue to pin things to the taskbar as you did in 7 and have them available on the start screen if you want.
I haven't had any incompatibilities; everything that worked in 7 works in 8. The $40 upgrade to Pro is nice for me so I can RDP to other machines in my house.
As others have said it shines on tablets (and phone). I don't have a problem w/ it on the desktop.
[Edit] Also the desktop is one keystroke away. Just put the desktop tile as the first thing on the start screen and you just press enter.
