Here's the thing: if the Windows 8 upgrade was free I wouldn't take it. Not because I have any great hatred of Windows 8-- I got bored one night and played around with it in a VM, it seems nice enough-- but Windows 7 works fine already. Windows is the thing that I have to run on my computer so I can run the things I actually care about using. As long as it stays out of my way and doesn't have lots of bugs or security issues, I'm happy with it. Until I'm forced off 7 due to incompatibilities I see no reason to switch. (for the record, I still run Snow Leopard on my mac for similar reasons).

Different people, different wiggles I guess. I'm running the Release Preview as my main OS now, and I'm just amazed at how much faster and smoother everything is. When this preview expires and I'm forced to go get Windows 8 proper if I want to keep using it, I'm pretty sure going back to Windows 7 wont be an option for me. Just like going back to Ice Cream Sandwich isn't an option once you've tried Jelly Bean. There are just so many small (and some major) incremental improvement all over the line. For me, I'm getting Windows 8 for sure, and I like the news about it not going to cost me a fortune.
