If i'm honest, I don't like windows 8 at the moment. The metro design is fine on a tablet but not on a typical computer. The lack of the start button annoys me but Iobit has made start8, which takes it back to nostalgia, which is good. Also, I don't think Windows 8 will last as long as Windows XP or 7, which both are still being used today my many millions worldwide. If many bugs including an overly powered firewall sometimes blocking home connections are fixed, then yes, I might consider changing my opinion to Windows 8. For now though, I don't really like it.
