This one seems plausible.

Yeah, I doubt Microsoft would be limiting transfer rights for all upgrade SKUs, since that's the primary purchase option for Windows 8 on the retail channel. But seeing as how that poster was specifically talking about the temporary promotional deals, I thought I'd mentioned it anyway to see if anyone else had any input on it since I've been wondering about it too recently.
Then again, something as important as this would probably have been reported somewhere by now. |

Curiosity(or rather greed?) killed a cat.
Ordered win8 via https://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/ for 469 roubles(~15$) You just have to tell them you've bought win7 somewhere in the mid of July with a pocker face.

And Metro Start does not replace wallpapers - it is a separate screen.

Same here -- wallpaper ranching is an important hobby for me. So far, every instance of win8 I have looked at - wallpapers are not present nor would they be very visible with Sesame Street sized tiles.

Coverage depends on what you're doing and how large you've set the fonts, etc. I have a 27" wide screen. There's usually 4-6 windows open (like when I'm doing software work or when I'm writing my little light novel). But the windows aren't usually large.
We'll see, I'm just going to have to play with it and see if it will cooperate and do what I want.

For the record, Avast gave me continuous bsod screens, either from its own files (aswnet.sys) or from ndis.sys, causing one hell of a mess. Kaspersky PURE 2.0 didn't allow the metro apps to run. Just a warning if you're trying AVs, these are the ones I've tried, I'm currently on Bitdefender, checking for any overly weird behavior (so far the Security Center misreports it as turned off, but I used an eicar file and it deleted it promptly).
