xhonzi - did you end up making the move? Curious on your thoughts - if you did in fact start using it..
Haven't played a lot with 8 [still happy with 7] but I'm getting pretty tempted to pick up a Surface Pro [Microsoft Tablet]. they run windows 8 Pro. I guess I could use 3rd party stuff to tweak it more to my liking..
Might have to wait for the prices to drop a bit, though.
