I was happy to see Win 8 come out because I was able to build a headless media server and use it to serve (stream) HD video while simultaneously running WHS 2011 in a virtual machine. I could not do this on the same hardware with Win 7. The UI doesn't bother me at all. I don't love it but I don't loathe it either. My Win 8 installation was a new install not an upgrade. If you can, it's always better to do a clean install.
I'm planning on installing Win 8 on my desktop. I like to try new things and I'm extremely happy with my server installation.
