Likewise for me it's an every other OS purchase for me. But if it does an amazing amount of new things better (hard to imagine) then of course I will consider it. Cost vs Performance will always come into play.

as others have said, I'm perfectly happy with Windows 7. Also, after spending a fairly large amount of time in the W8 developer preview, it does seem to be incredibly touch-centric. Which will be great for tablet users and people with touchscreen monitors, but for the 99.9% (probably
) of us with normal monitors, it takes longer to get things done.
The new start menu is a main part of my dislike for it. As a Windows Phone 7 user, a fullscreen start menu is needed (the tiny WinMo 5-ish start menu was a pain, hence the 6.5+ transition into fullscreen ones). On a what, 20" monitor? I don't think so

Probably the same executive-type guys who don't wash their hands after using the restroom (for, um, small business, that is) and shake every stranger's hands with a flash of their teeth.As far as I can see the new Windows 8 will be used by Business more than personal use. But who in business wants to touch a screen that other people have been using and have all their germs all over the screen. Especially the fact that most businesses don't even possess screen cleaners as it's too ''expensive''
for them to stock.

From what I see right now, there is little reason to complicate my life with Win8. But it is early days and I will reserve my final decision until I see the RTM.

I probably won't build a new PC until 2015. At that time, I would likely use the then current Windows--assuming it doesn't have a hopeless reputation.
Between now and 2015, I likely would not upgrade to another OS unless MS offers a very low promotional price, much as they offered Windows 7 Home Premium for $49 for a period of 6 months prior to its official launch.

does anybody know if I get a laptop in the future with Windows 8 on it, will I be able to use that key on my desktop or other laptop as well?
