I can say that from a marketing standpoint, to a savvy consumer, Windows 8 looks extremely limited. I don't know if it is or not, but from commercials and whatnot it seems much less customizable than Windows 7. Tablets are nice and all, but on my laptop I want a high powered, customizable OS that I can do basically whatever I want with, not be limited by stylistic choices like those menus.

I installed Win8 and kicked the tires for a few days. I then uninstalled it and went back to Win7. Win8 feels like a kludge...multiple personalities each fighting for attention. The odd thing is, I like many of the individual aspects of Win8, but the way they were all put together felt strange.
I installed a "flat" theme for Win7, and the Omnimo theme for Rainmeter and I have what LOOKS like Win8 but operates in a much more cohesive manner.
