I've been using Windows 8 recently and have found no discernible increase in my work flow. It looks nice and I get comments on it, but I've found using an app launcher like executor or launchy has all but diminished the usefulness of Win 8. Of course this is just on my desktop, and will wait to see how the Surface tablet pans out. Full disclosure: I've grown to like the metro interface on my WIN7 phone.

Yeah, I've played with the Dev Preview. It wasn't horrible. Although, I embarrassingly admit, I had NO idea how to 'close' IE after I opened it. I'm a huge Linux fan, and I use a Mac at home. But much of the development I do at work is Windows only and I really don't hate "The Squares". I love the look of the newer WPF applications. Git for Windows is a perfect example. Now not everything should go this route. But I'm just not willing to jump on the "MS has crapified everything" bandwagon. I'll be interested to see the general acceptance factor in all of this.
