My current opinion is its a marginal upgrade from 7, some things look better and I get faster boot and shutdown times.
For $40 + $5 for start8, I'm happy. No way would I pay $100-$150.

I use hibernate on my laptop a lot at home, and the boot time out of that is much quicker for me.

The download version will create an ISO for you, I just burned that to a CD, and am using that CD for all my installs.

All I needed from the separate purchases were the product keys.

Re: Anyone else get Windows 8?
I think I need to upgrade parallels before I install. I'm going to clone and upgrade.

Shutdown is also a 10-step process until you get a shortcut. I put a command-line shutdown.exe shortcut on my desktop.
