Anyone else get Windows 8?
I installed W8 pro on my home laptop and so far am very pleased. Still learning the ins and outs, but so far so good.

Will do. I have noticed one bug, that I can only assume has to do with the upgrade. Depending on where my pointer is when typing and sometimes even if it it not in the typing box, the cursor will jump to odd points on the screen, making typing a pain. Going to have to research that. I have noticed it doing it on facebook, and a time or two on a couple of forums. Moving the pointer out of the type box seems to help here.

This is the first version of windows that I did not rush to install on the first day. I am still conflicted, I will probably end up buying some of the cheap upgrade license keys and just sit on them for a while.

Decided to roll the dice on windows 8 upgrade solving it equally as well (thereby avoiding the tedious program reinstallation process). And fortunately it worked. Still adjusting to the lack of a start menu, but not drastically different once you get past the tile screen.
