Anyone planning to migrate to Windows 8 on a desktop or notebook/laptop

I am not.

I cannot quite see the point on desktop. I even bought a repllacement PC now to make sure I still get Windows 7 instead of being lumped with Windows 8

(I still run XP on my Laptop and the PC I am replacing runs XP)

What are your views on that.

(for one thing I know that PSE 10 and Gimp 2.8 run on Windows 7 plus Open Office - these being the programmes I use most)
