I'm personally back in 7 but do have plans to go back to Win8 when some of my customization tools are out of alpha stages(win8), another reason is that I use an alternative desktop shell meaning I run an alternative desktop.
Don't get me wrong, if weren't for this I wouldn't go back but I will be back at SP1 which should be early 2013 or even by the end of the year.
However I am glad I got 8 when I did otherwise I probably would have paid later on, I'll probably either buy win8 pro for a fresh install and use home on my parents PC.
Another reason, aero. Sorry love the squared edges but I miss the transparency's, and glass effects.. shallow yes, but oh well to each his own. Also, video drivers. While nvidia has released a WHQL driver for 8 I'll wait to Sp1 or even til sp1 beta to fully upgrade all my machines.
I do believe we will see aero in win8 via windowsblinds, or someone writing a shell that makes it look and feel like vista/7. It wouldn't surprise me if we see it back via an update from Microsoft, the taskbar is fine with a basic color but man.. the windows remind me of windows 9X.. at least allow for gradients..
