Hopefully, with this release MS have ironed out some (preferably all) of the bugs. The main one of these being, in my case, the tendency of the graphics driver to stop responding with a purple screen and probable automatic reboot (only happens in Windows 8, both Vista and Windows 7 are unaffected).
