I have been running Windows 8 since August. The main downsides are: - I tend to find applications to run by hitting start and typing in their application names, it is just faster than trying to find applications in the new "Start Screen". I used to usually use the mouse to find items in the start menu, but its just too hard now. - Printer drivers -- if you have an old printer it may not work with Windows 8, specifically 3 year old Brother printers that are perfectly fine otherwise. This is by far the most annoying thing about Windows 8. - There are two versions of many applications (both Desktop and Metro) that appear to be mostly the same except that they are different and run different, this got me initially: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/983-73-versions-chrome-windows - Windows Explorer (the file manager) tends to crash much more often than on Windows 7 - a couple times at a week - but it restarts pretty quickly and automatically.
Besides the annoyances above, it otherwise works for me in all of my daily tasks.
