I've tried it. We set up a test box for it. Once you get used to it, it isn't bad. It is just different without the 'start' button. However, I'm told that Windows 8.1 is going to be out very soon-- anyone with Win8 gets the free upgrade, and rumor has it 8.1 will have the 'start' button back.Anyone here using Windows 8? Should I try it or stick with Windows 7?
Give it a whirl.
