With all the negative comments on win8, and horror stories, I was hesitent in getting win8, but the performance boost, how ever minimal, pushed me into getting win8.

Now that I have it, and messed with it, its really not a big deal even in the slightest. Any annoyance in comparison to win7, is so abysmally small, I have to say go for win8.

Every upgrade of windows annoys me with small things, as did XP, Vista, win7, and win8, and its just that the annoyances to win8 are harder to overlook, when the interface changes, but its so simple to work with/avoid its not even noticeable after 1 day with the OS.
