Oh boy, nothing against MS but I don't think the Metro UI will be as good looking/ functional on mouse and screen PCs as that on the touchscreen PCs.

I think it'll catch up really fast. Here's why. PC and laptops are used by millions in household and business. If ms will no longer support other windows, many will have no choice but move to w8. They'll use it and they will love it, just like me.

Good launch. I wish they'd be more accurate and say "yet" instead of "ever", as "ever" implies all time, future, current, and past, despite the generalized misuse of the word

I'LL get my Windows 8 Pro Upgrade box friday if staples has any for sale. I have been using all the Windows 8 release copies and am used to using it and would recommend that others give it a try. I would infrom them not to get freaked out over the the Moern UI start screen because it is just an extra new windows screen that you use to put your Programs and apps on the start screen so that when it appears after you log in you can open them up and use the immediately or if you choose to just skip the Start screen and mouse click or touch the desktop tile and work out things from there and get to all of windows 8's programs and app by mouse clicking or touching the search charm that appears whenever you bring you mouse pointer to the lower left cornet of your non touch screen monitor or whenever you press the windows key and the letter c. pleses remember that to shut off a windows 8 computer you must bring up the 5 Charms and activate the settings charm and then activate the power icon
