Wasn't sure exactly where to post this, no questions really, just some comments.
I bought an ASUS G75 notebook a few months ago and it came w/Win 8 64-bit installed. I'm very pleased with Win 8 in all respects. (In fact I just built a new desktop a couple of weeks ago and bought Win 8 for it.) I've found it to be rock solid stable, much more so than the original releases of Vista and Win 7. And all the hullabaloo about the Start screen is a tempest in a teapot, if you ask me. First of all, there all several free programs that will give you the "traditional" start button and will boot right into the desktop, if you so desire. I barely even saw the start screen for the first couple of months I had my notebook. Then I started playing around with the start screen and now I've uninstalled the start button programs because I prefer the start screen. I think it looks very cool and I've set it up with just the programs and Metro apps that I want. (Stardock has an inexpensive program that puts apps in a traditional window, which makes them much easier to use w/o a touch screen.) I much prefer the start screen to the start button now, both aesthetically and practically.
All in all, very happy with Win 8.
