Gotta agree for the most part. I held off for about 8 or 10 months on my main system to let drivers mature and 3rd party devs to mostly stop assuming their software would have admin rights when it was running; but otherwise the enhanced security and widespread 64bit support were killer features.

W8 like W7 kept the driver model the same (and didn't require a major min requirements bump either) so there aren't any show-stoppers in the launch other than "OMG they changed stuff! WHAAAA!!!11eleventyone!!11" which happens with every release to some degree or another.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
