Looks like Windows 8 has the same features as Windows 7 Home Premium.

Some confusion, but I think Windows 8 will include Windows Media Center, but WMC will be available in Windows 8 Pro only as an optional cost add-on.

Windows RT name seems to add more confusion. It apparently will not be sold at retail, so that may not matter much.

I don't yet see any reason to go with it, but I might if it's available at a heavy discount, like Windows 7 Home Premium was available for $50.

I agree. It would only be with a very heavy discount that I would even consider going over to Win8.

Probably the only way I will transfer is through having to buy a new machine.

Same here, the only way I'll likely acquire it is if its preinstalled on a new PC that I purchase. I build my own desktops so its only going to happen if I replace my laptop or buy a tablet. All my PC's are currently running Windows 7 and I don't see any reason to be upgrading the OS on those. Still I like the idea that they are reducing the number of different versions of Windows 8.

il'l wait untill win 7 loses support then il'l upgrade because win 8 doesn't drag me in as it's almost the same and only differince i noticed was the interface and a couple small things like how it looks when copying things ect anyways that doesn't intrest me.Only thing I thought was better was the boot time but that is it and i'm sure if they wanted to they could do that to win 7 but then it wouldn't sale now would it. Anyways if I want a faster boot and app launch il'l just invest in a SSD in the future as of now not to much of importance to me will wait untill they make something better, I ain't buying it.

what's the use of upgrading OS if your current OS is still functioning properly
