Let's wait for few days. Though it got quite a fancy 'look and feel' stuff, it still lack few enhancement.

-The secure boot seem to stop other OSs to boot side by side,

-still no improvement in directx, so gamers and graphic artists are not happy,

-the biggest attraction, the metro ui sucks in conventional pcs,

-who need a ribbon on every window?

-no change in drivers and libraries, so why upgrade,

-new system, new bugs, new viruses, new problem

so wait until microsoft do something about their product.

Apparently, Windows 8 RC usage really catches on; it has twice the amount of Windows 7 users in the same time period.

Still don't really understand why.

I experiment very much, but not with the OS.

It firstly must be stable and I must have big reason to use it I started with NT4 for Pro/Engineer and SolidWorks (they were unsupported on Win95/98 and just ported from Unix to NTFS). Move to XP SP2 was logical move later. Then in 2005. I started using XP x64 when 3GB switch wasn't enough for my 3D visualizations, and finaly Win7 x64 mostly for 64-bit applications using MS Access x64. As you can see, I skipped Millenium and Vista. If an OS is pretty, it is not a reason good enough to use it.
