Windows 8(.1) is a very good system, with plenty of improvements under the hood. No problems whatsoever with all the graphics software. Don't get fooled by opinions about the metro thing. Use it or leave it. My 2c: bravo to MS for being brave once! On a tablet, it really shines.
There's improvements to the desktop as well. For example, ISOs can be mounted ootb now, and I for my part find the new ribbons on top of the file explorer windows quite handy. And no more Areo glass... desktop has a slick and dry feeling to it. The only point I don't like so much is the charms menu, which you get when hitting the right screen edge with the cursor (or swiping from the right on a tablet). Not because it's a bad idea, but because the choice of icons/functions is somewhat strange. E.g. you have to click the 'settings' gear icon to get to the on/off switch... ideally, charms should be freely configurable. Small tip: RMB the bottom left corner (8.0) or start button (8.1) to get to a new, quite convenient, menu with all the relevant configuration shortcuts. There's a menu item for power down, too.

Thanks! Now I'm definitely buying our new PCs with Win 8(8.1) specially since Win 7 is not easy to find these days. The Win8 Pro downgrade option is something I wish I knew when we bought a couple of Win7 PCs a few months ago. Now, Is it worth to upgrade our old PCs? So far it doesn't seem so, but I may upgrade just one to try it myself with dual boot or something. Martin
