There's been a recent flood of Windows analyst reviews from the various PC magazines. General sense is, "for tablets? great!" ... for desktops, "not so much" -- vertical surfaces and touchscreens are ergonomic swamps and it will take more mouse clicks to do the same thing.
It really boils down to the "one size doesn't fit all" problem with a UI and the fact that the major applications (Office, Photoshop, software development suites, etc) simply aren't going to be touch-ified. One analyst characterized it as "if you're a *CONSUMER* of content, you're going to be less annoyed with Win8 than you are if you are a *CREATOR* of content".
Sources ... well, this is from thumbing through all the magazines on the bookrack tonight :P
