Well, take that back, as I was writing this I needed to find something, so brought up app search, backed out to metro, and that locked up my PC.

I'll still play with it and give it a good month or two, but I'm still skeptical
I updated from a very lean Vista install to Win 8, and it did not transfer all my programs. So beware. But really, the only apps I had on it were Office 2007, and that was easy to reinstall. It did keep the cpu-z hw monitor program oddly enough, but that program has actually crashed a couple of times.

Usually I do clean installs, but I upgraded this just to see what would happen, and despite a few glitches, it's running very well. That said, I would not want to upgrade to Win 8 from an older pre-Win 8 install that had lots of lots of programs on it. Like with any new OS, I could imagine lots of problems doing that.
