Rule #1 before making any major system changes: make and test your backups.
A 30gb recovery takes <15minutes on a pair of raid0'd SSDs from a local 7200rpm drive.
No hair pulling, no support calls, no researching... no thinking. True bliss. Maytag man is jealous.
I've put W8 on a number of desktops/laptops, 1 Touchscreen PC, and a tablet. It really shines on touch computers, once you get used to the GUI. If youre a true poweruser then you'd probably installed it, and removed it, or probably have it on a running on a VM to see just how many apps/devices you have no longer work. I've had rather good luck with it, it supports more devices right out of the box, as W7 did; a great plus (out of many) for home users (assuming they meet recommended specs, which is not that high). I dont hate/like it, its just another operating system. W7/XP/2003/2008 still still on most of my boxes (fiddling w/ 2012..).
