I like Windows 8. The Metro UI is great on a touch screen. For desktops either work from the desktop which is one click away or install Start8 or Classic Shell or one of the many other programs to make it more like Windows 7. I have installed Windows 8 on two of my 5 desktops. It also came on my new Asus touchscreen notebook. At my office we are replacing all of our old Windows XP machines with new Windows 8 computers this year before XP support ends. I think desktop sales will increase as the year goes on for this reason.
