Windows 8

Anyone using it? What are your thoughts, specifically on a non touch device.

I briefly used it on a demo computer, seemed like a mess.

Meh, it's not the clusterfuck that everyone thought it would be but I sure as shit wouldn't intentionally upgrade to it.

We have a few QA machines at work running it(Both touch screen and non-touch). I am not much of a fan yet. From a software development standpoint, it is causing some issues with our product. Personally, I would rather use a Mac than Windows 8 at this point(And I despise Mac's). The one plus it has is the quick bootup.

It's pretty "meh".

This alone was worth it to me (I run my computer for mostly gaming and media purposes). I can adapt fairly easily to the new ui. And there are ways to bring back the old start button.

I got a new laptop with this on it. I actually really like it and it's easy to switch between the metro and desktop ui. I just wish it had a touch interface as the metro seems to be designed for that, but at least the touch pad now supports 2 touch input. Wish you could use 3 or 4 finger gestures, but oh well.
