Just test drived Windows 8 CP on VMWare and I didn't like it at all. Sure I could use multitouch since VMWare Tools enables some of the multitouch gestures on the track pad, but it's still frustrating to use.
The main problem with Windows 8 that they are forcing a tablet UI on a desktop computer. It would work fine on a tablet, but a person who uses a desktop or laptop now have to do more just to browse and open a program they want to launch. The fact that they removed the start button and menu makes it worse and you can't even turn it off (and the registry hack doesn't work in the CP).
So yeah, I won't be upgrading anytime soon and I expect that many will downgrade to Windows 7 when Windows 8 comes out later this year. But still, I like the approach Apple is taking since they add the features from iOS, but they don't force it on you (except for Mission Control, which changed the expose workflows and spaces) and you can turn it off.
