Help me with my thinking here.

I saw where Win8 was going to be offered for $40 or so during Oct. I planned to acquire a copy for my wife's computer which is less than a year old and has Win 7 on it. The computer is a whiz-bang and should be good for at least 4 or 5 years. I even have an extended warranty on it.

I was then going to wait for at least the first service package update to be available to install Win8. Hopefully by then the beast would be tamed somewhat.

Is that a reasonable plan?
