No, a thousand times NO!
I have worked with Windows 8 long enough so that I can compile my 40 project Visual Studio 2005 solution using Visual Studio Express 2010 and run it. The experience was rather like doing heart surgery through a three millimeter incision in the patient's belly button. Calling Windows 8 unproductive and hostile to content developers is praising it to highly.
I despise the Apple UI but it is VASTLY superior to Windows 8 and its sub-Fisher Price Metro and featureless, flat, white only desktop. My plan is to support my current software on Windows 7. I will soon start transporting major portions of that software to the Apple Mac, iPhone and iPad in an attempt to avoid getting trapped by Microsoft stupidity.
Microsoft is on a rapid downhill run heading for the edge of a cliff. It had a nice run but it is now a company without a brain run by MBA's who have never designed or built anything other than fantasies and spreadsheets.
