IMO not worth it, it's just been a headache looking in every corner for the stuff that i need, metro is a pain to use... and aero is more or less useless now (within reason, i still prefer it)

Not worth it right now, it's too early.

Well remember Vista........ lots of bugs and compatibility issue's not to mention how hardware hungry it was so i'm basicly trying to say with all new software dont be the first to jump in wait check reviews allow for issue's to arise and be fixed before throwing your coin away

i've only encountered 1 bug (with an easy workaround) and it's as hardware hungry as win7 was.... on that note i wouldn't recommend jumping ship from win7-win8

there are few improvement with win 8 but if the sole purpose of upgrading is gaming alone i think that's not going to worth it unless the new os offer massive performance boost at the same graphic quality as the old os.

If you already have Windows 7, there is not much point in upgrading to Windows 8. The performance difference for games is negligible at best, maybe a whopping 2 frames per second in certain games. Unless you have a touchscreen for your desktop that you really want to use as a primary input device, or you just have to have the "latest and greatest" thing, you might as well just stick to Windows 7 for the time being.

Windows 8 is a pain if you have a touchscreen monitor maybe but even then you will find yourself taking forever to find what your looking for when it comes to settings just general navigation it took me forever to find where I could shut my PC down. Its down right ridiculous but my wife loves it because she spends all day on her smartphone which is windows and her kindlefire blah it has no place in the PC world.

I would skip Win 8 just like I skipped Win Vista.
