You only need to get used to, is the "strange touch based" design (if you are using a regular mouse and keyboard).

I mean... Who designed a feature where you have to go to the top of the screen in order to have your mouse cursor change to a hand, so that you can press and hold the mouse button in order to grab hold of an App and drag it all the way down to the bottom to close it? It makes sense with a Touch interface, not so much with a mouse. (^_^ )

When you get used to that, Windows 8 runs smooth as silk.

I have to wait until someone puts an ISO of 8.1 up somewhere so I can use that to update. (No idea what would get removed if I used the store download, but ISO can be used to bypass it)

Yep windows 8 is great. I find it a fair bit faster than windows 7 when making music. Gaming seems to be smoother too.
