FWIW, after weeks of use on my early i7 I still find the Win8 interface to be annoying when using multiple applications, but it is certainly a lot faster than Win7/64. Interface is clearly designed for
getting stuff rather than
doing stuff - eg would really suit Facebook/newsfeed/entertainment users with touch screen machines.
A few minor "what the.??." moments, but overall, getting software/drivers etc to run was relatively painless - it seems to be basically Win7 under the bonnet (but with more security). Win8 turned out to be a worthwhile upgrade overall - the speed boost outweighs interface issues.
