Windows 8 is pretty solid. I've been running it on a desktop and two Windows 8 tablets, an Acer Iconia W700 and a Dell Latitude 10.

Is it better than Windows 7? Well, it is not trying to be Windows 7. It does what is does and I actually enjoy the interface.

The only thing I do not like is the touchscreen designed interface for the desktop. I do have a touch display but it is resistive and capacitive touch, so the interface could be better.

I don't miss the Start button anymore either, since I can just start typing the name of what I'm looking for on the metro desktop and it finds it without issue. It is actually very intuitive.

Bonus points for being a user who can properly differentiate the purpose of Windows 7 vs 8 and its intended application.

That said, I haven't had a ton of time to play with Win8 tablets but thinking of the Surface Pro.

How's the hands on experience with your tablets?

The main issue is not whether Win8 is good or bad. They are imposing it on us, challenging our freedom for the sake of their greed. It is not only about interface either, but also the way they plan to provide the applications to us. I won't give in to their wishes and certainly don't like when people start talking how a reasonable interface Win8 has.
