No, no plans either. I would look into a tablet running it though, depends on what I can control remotely from it and if it will implement into active directory.

Oh well, when I'm planning to buy a laptop or tablet then surely Windows 8 known to be the latest OS available.

Did have it installed on my laptop for a few weeks but wiped it, and when it was first released I made the mistake of installing it on my desktop as my main OS, wiped that first.

Now have it in a VM just to mess with when I'm bored, but I`ll probably install the RC on my laptop again when it hits us in June

I voted No, still running Windows 7.

It didn't run too well on my spare PC.

Some consider me fortunate. So far my Windows 8 adventure has been perfectly fine, No issues, no annoyances, Just great. Been using it since it released.

I would have went back to Windows 7 if I did discover a big problem (that I couldn't solve), fortunately a missing start orb isn't one of them :rolleyes:

I find the Metro Start Screen to work better and quicker for me than the Windows 7 Start Menu ever did. Now awaiting for the Release Preview.

Same as MrXidus above. Lot faster than 7. All the metro start needs is a custom background and it's all good.
I'll be using it from RC, tried CP on netbook, but went back to XP on it since that's lot faster.

I am very happy with my Windows 8. :)

Is there by any chance you posted this from your Android tablet device? :p

I might try the RC version.

No,and I don't plan to upgrade,Windows 7 still works for me... :) ..... I might install it on a VMware because I would like to create some 'How To's' for the forum but that's about it.......
Apart from the 'New Look', I don't see any reason why should I install this OS on my non-touch system...

I echo what Jack says too.
No need or desire to go to Windows 8, happy with 7 for a good few years yet :)
